RE: Elder Flowers - How To Identify Wild Elderberry Shrubs - with tips on harvesting and storing their flowers

in #nature7 years ago

I do not know if here are some Elder Flowers near here but with your description maybe it very easily to identify, the center of woody it is the easy way to recognize it
Thanks a lot.

Sort:  

There are Sumac (Rhus) and other shrubs with soft pith inside a woody stem. But not with those flowers! The Sambucus peruviana is native to South and Central America -- and I just looked it up and it has been grouped with the Black Elder group (Sambucus nigra) now, too! I hope you are able to find some - maybe in the higher regions. Happy foraging!

I try to identify because the sauco i only listening in harry potter when he has a magic wood of sauco.
Thanks a lot i try to tasted another kind of endible flowers like this.

People think a lot of the Elder wood. It has a strong tradition in Europe. So I can understand why it is in the Harry Potter books!
