American elder, or elderberry, is a shrub with a fairly broad ecological range, though it usually wants its feet somewhat wet.
In winter it often takes the form of a cluster of stems.

The ripe berries can also be used to make a flu/cold fighting herbal medicine. A few searches should yield many recipes. We tried making our own batch and have been taking it this past winter and have not had a single case of a cold or flu.
