RE: Harvesting my Elderberries and they were playing hard to get

We love the health benefits of Elderberry and have been propagating some for our homestead. I'm currently aware of three main colors, the dark purple, which we have, the light blue, which you have, and a red one too, but I hear that it is poisonous.

Do you know any more about any of that?

Sort:  

I know there is a Black, Blue, and Red Elderberry. None of them to my understanding are poisonous. There is report of:

The active alkaloids in elderberry plants are
hydrocyanic acid and sambucine. Both alkaloids will
cause nausea so care should be observed with this
plant.

Other than that there it nothing I can think of that would be of major concern.

Thanks for letting me know.
