Elderberries are an easy-going shrub. As a matter of fact, we planted 2 of them in the garden and ended up with fifteen after a few years. They spread by roots and you can transplant new shrubs as they appear near the old ones. It is an impressive sight when elderberries are blooming in the spring. Later you can harvest the berries and make an elderberry syrup which has nice immune-boosting properties. As elderberry organic syrup is expensive, making your own is a frugal way to stay healthy.
