This is one of commonest and most successful colonisers of hedgerows here in Cheshire in fact it wasn't until I deliberately looked for the shrub that I noticed we had one in the hedge of our front garden. The white umbel like flowers of summer give way to these fruits which people still use to make elderberry wine.
