The Black Elder (Sambucus nigra) is a deciduous shrub native to Europe and western and central Asia. Its dense, dark-green foliage produces steeped black berries that are edible and often used to make jellies and wine. It is an essential ingredient in medicinal compounds due to its high antioxidant content. Its flowers are white and fragrant, making it a popular ornamental plant. The Black Elder prefers sandy soils, but can grow in a variety of soils. It should be placed in a sunny area to get enough sunlight for photosynthesis and optimal growth.
