Here on the West coast our Elderberries are trees some 30+ feet tall. It takes a ladder or a special pruner to pick the flowers or the berries. I sometimes climb on the roof of the woodshed to pick berries but I still need the pruner with the ten foot pole. I usually make elderberry jelly. Because the flowers and berries are so stemmy, I steam them to get the juice and work from there. The berries are pretty tart so it requires lots of sugar but ultimately it turns out quite tasty.
