Melissa,
   My elderberries are planted in several spots and they do best in 
semi-moist soil with filtered sunlight.  Those that are planted nearby in 
full shade do bear almost as well as the previously mentioned.  I also have 
some in full sun and others in half day sun, both in drier soil and both of 
these perform poorly.  Deer eat the leaves in the Fall after all of the 
grasses have turned brown.
