Plant Highlights

Mexican Elderberry is a beautiful trupmet growing shrub, or tree, that produces edible fruit and is loved by Nature. This shrub grows in rounded, convex fashion, producing large clusters of cream white flowers, which ripen to edible berries in the late summer. The fruit is liked by various species of birds, including sparrows and blue jays, and bees are especially fond of the white flowers. The leaves are a lighter shade of medium green, having small serated edges around the tips. It can adapt to most any climate and soil conditions, though some irrigation is needed to establish.
