Huge flower heads of lemony blooms in June lead to harvests of small, nearly-black, sweet drupes make delicious jams, jellies and wine, and are a great source of vitamin C. Allow fruit to ripen on the bush, then snip the whole cyme, strip the berries into a bowl and keep refrigerated. Ripens in August. Deer-resistant. Another elderberry needed for pollination.
