Pacific Red Elderberry
Our Red Elderberry only fruits lightly, because there is not another one
with which to cross-pollinate for some great distance. The fruits
ripen to bright red in June. When green, the berries are toxic, but when
fully ripened are edible, though not especially tasty
unless cooked, sieved, spiced, & sweetened.
