White Elderberry bush
Elderberries are shrubs or in some climates grow into small trees and are native plants to many of the Southern United States. The strong spicy smelling foliage when crushed was used during the Civil War by Calvary units to strap around the necks of hours to repel flies from the riders. Southern gardeners very well know that planting Elderberry shrubs near a patio will drive away flies from eating areas.
The mature flower clusters of Elderberries are pleasantly aromatic when boiled for 15 minutes and strained or filtered into a very tasty and flavorful tea. The flower clusters and Elderberries can be fermented into wine or tasty champagne.
