No it's not but I would like to get one. I can't find it in Hilliers Dictionary of Trees and Shrubs or RHS Gardeners' Encyclopedia. (that doesn't mean it's not in there, I just can't see it.)

Strange - when I saw the berries, I thought 'Elder' but I've never seen an Elder with a prickly trunk!

It's beautiful in spring too with huge panicles of creamy-white flowers

More mysterious still, as that sounds JUST like an Elder!

I've trawled the Sambucus entries and nothing seems to match. I'm stumped.

Someone will know. This mass of berries is unusual and impressive. Is this growing in your garden?
