I should have included this in my earlier observations: A few yards off a
local
road, there was a big black-walnut removed 3 or 4 years ago. This year a
Sambucus
canadensisr, growing w/in a few feet of the old stump, sent up a flower
cluster.
The removed tree was stump-treated w/ herbicide, so there was no life in the
tree's
root system. But, I got thinking, how long does it take an elderberry to
grow from
seed to flowering? Did it start when the black-walnut was still there?
