These easy-to-grow shrubs and trees produce frothy white flowerheads in May and June, then heavy clusters of small black berries. Several popular cultivars have purple leaves and pink flowers. Versatile and vigorous, elders grow well in most sites, can be pruned to reduce their size, and attract a wide range of wildlife.
