To Improve Your Landscape 
ELDER 
Although the elders are attractive in flower and 
fruit, they are chiefly grown for their beautiful 
leaves, which make admirable fillers among other 
shrubs. Being rather tall growing and of robust 
habit, their use should be confined to backgrounds, 
screens or tall hedges.
