I'd never thought of trying that, Ivy! I haven't even considered if they berries were edible. I guess the birds eat them. Last summer a customer came to my little nursery asking for Alaskan lilacs. Lilacs of any kind are a marginal shrub here, so I wondered if a new cultivar was available. She said, "Oh, no, these are wild white lilacs... they grow along the road." It finally dawned on me that she was talking about the elderberry bushes. The white blooms do have a cone shaped form on the stems. We both had a good laugh!
