What does elderberry tree look like?

The elderberry tree, typically reaching heights of 5 to 12 feet, features a bushy, multi-stemmed growth habit. Its leaves are compound, consisting of several oval leaflets that are dark green and have serrated edges. The tree produces clusters of small white or cream-colored flowers in late spring, followed by dark purple or black berries in late summer. The bark is generally gray-brown and can be somewhat spongy to the touch.
