Elderberry


This year's growth of elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) is coming up from last year's roots. This is along the Wabash Heritage Trail near the bank of the Wabash. This floodplain is typical habitat for the elderberry. The woody canes will grow to be as tall as a person. In June, clusters large as lampshades of tiny white flowers appear at the tops.
