Description: American black elderberry is a member of the Adoxaceae, the Moschatel family. Species in this family are small to large shrubs, with a few small trees. Several common ornamental shrubs are in the family including tea viburnum (Viburnum setigerum) and wrinkled viburnum (Viburnum rhytidophyllum). The elderberries were recently moved from the Caprifoliaceae, the Honeysuckle family, to the Adoxaceae. Elderberry species are known from North and South America, Europe, Asia and the South Pacific.This shrub is 2 – 4 m (6.5 – 13 ft) tall, usually on the smaller end than larger. One to many somewhat weak stems arise from the crown. Young stems have a large white pith while older stems are mostly hollow. Leaves are opposite and pinnately compound. Leaves are 15 – 30.5 cm (6 – 12 in) long by 12.7 – 22.9 cm (ca. 5 – 9 in) wide with 5 – 11 leaflets. Each leaflet is 12.7 – 30.5 cm (5 – 12 in) long by about 1/3 as wide. Leaves are thin, toothed, green on top and paler underneath. Flowers are borne in 12.7 – 229 cm (5 – 9 in) wide clusters (inflorescences) at tips of branches
