    • This is a big bush that flashes in May.
      It gives mature berries in the autumn that are used to make a moth.
      The flower that I’m talking about is used for tea or syrup.
       (lat. Sambucus nigra) is a long-standing wooden plant from the family Caprifoliaceae.
      Low wood or bush with longitudinal cracks, grayish brown, grows 3-10 m high in October. The young branches are green, sprinkled with bright dashes and with the interior filled with white marrow. The leaves are oddly feathered, opposite to the leaflets whose ribs are dentically serrated. The flowers are yellowish-white, tiny, pleasant fragrance and collected in large, shieldy, flatish blossoms whose width reaches 20 cm, the flowering is from April to June. The fruit is round, initially green, and later a black bony with 3-4 seeds. It starts to mature since August. It should be noted that black leaves are called and immature sponges, because of sambunigrina toxic.
