Elderberry is a shrub of woodland edges, hedgerows and grassland scrub, but also be found on waste ground, in cemeteries and even on rubbish tips. It prefers rich, fertilised soils and is a common sight in urban areas and beside cultivated ground.
Despite its reputation as a bad-smelling, opportunistic weed, Elder is regularly used as food - the autumn berries and spring flowers can both be eaten (the latter sometimes battered and fried) or the blossom can be used to make the popular elderflower cordial.
