Hello Akhtar,

I'm not sure if you are on the Trails Group distribution list but we are having a walk to Blue Mountain on Sunday, Sept 17.  You are welcome to attend!  We will be meeting at the Tim Horton's at the corner of Hammonds Plains rd and Kingswood Ave at 1:30 PM.  The walk will be about 5-6 km and will take about 2.5 - 3 hours.  Bring the usual stuff - water, snack, camera, binocs, etc and wear good shoes or boots.

Hope to see you there.

Regards,

Bob McDonald

  Hi Bob,
  "Purple berried Elder" latin 'Sambucus canadensis'  is
  'Common elderberry' or 'Elderberry'
  While Latin name for 'Red berried elder' is
  'Sambucus pubens'. One tree of this species is standing 
  near my appartment complex.

    Hi Jean,

    Is the "Purple berried Elder" the same as "Elderberry"? I haven't heard the 
    former name.

    P.S. Our very small Elderberry in the front yard is still in bud, while the 
    Red berried Elder is covered in green berries still. The latter is very 
    prolific in its berry production but is not the first choice for birds 
    either. The Bohemian Waxwings usually strip it bare in February or March, 
    after all other berries are gone.
