Elderflower


Elderflower

The Elderflower (also known as an elderberry tree and an elderflower tree) is a slightly arid and messy tree that rarely has a central trunk. Instead, numerous trunks tend to stick out of the ground and branch out regularly, giving it a shrub-like, bushy appearance.

Elderflowers

The Elderflower is found in hedgerows, forests, woodlands, parks, along roadsides, and in many gardens around the world: Australia, Canada, the USA, Great Britain, Germany, France, Ireland, and many more.
