  for anything but love the berries for syrup and jelly.  Propagation by
  cuttings in the spring has been pretty easy.

  missed their peak at the beginning of the season. The shrub is about 6 to
  7ft very "leggy" and growing in a very wet site under other taller trees.
  Not sure if it bears black berries but if so these don't seem to be very
  popular with the birds.

  Could you help me in identifying my plant? Could anyone suggest which elders
  might be good for flower and fruit production for zone 3/ 4 (for example is
  Sambucus Canadiensis OK)?
