It is a Sambucus or Elderberry. Probably best to remove it completely if it is right at the side of the house as the roots could cause damage.

On the other hand you could make elderflower cordial or elderflower wine!

Elderflower tea is nice as well - one flower spray to a jugful. Make it in a cafetiere and its easy to strain.

thanks guys, ma OH is excited about this not so sure myself as i looked it up and apparently the roots and bark contain cyanide, he wants to make vodka, wine, jam, cough syrup and anything alse he can ha ha x

You aren't likely to use the bark or roots and the berries are tasty so give it a go. I love elderflower cordial but it is quite expensive to buy. I keep meaning to go out and gather flower heads and make some but haven't got round to it so far.
