Elderberry (​Sambucus nigra)

 I like the sun but will do okay in part shade.
    
I need average amounts of water.

Size:     10 ft tall x 2 ft wide

Bloom Time: Spring and Summer        
       

​I am a very common roadside native. I can be seen in ditches and river banks. My long stems produce lovely white blooms that turn into dark colored berries. The birds love my berries. Humans can eat my berries once cooked. The cooked berries are commonly used to make pies, jams, jellies, or fermented wine.
