FOREST FRUITS: Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) is in the height of its season at Vallonia State Tree Nursery! Elderberries are very popular among seasoned foragers for their versatility in jams, pies, or beverages, their high nutritional value, and their long history of medicinal use. However, unripe fruits, along with most other parts of the shrub, are toxic. Even ripe fruits must be cooked through before using. Fruits are considered ripe when they have turned deep purple to black in color and their juice runs reddish purple.
Elderberry is also a great native shrub for wildlife, supporting pollinators with their large flower clusters and a wide variety of birds with their fruits! Learn more about the value of planting native trees and shrubs like elderberry at dnr.IN.gov/forestry/tree-seedling-nurseries/tree-species-information!
