Since early childhood, I am familiar with this plant, or rather say with a tree. I collected inflorescences of elderberry, dried them and handed them over to the pharmacy. Then there were no special dryers, dried simply on sheets of paper.
I did not like being in the thickets of this plant. Even when this plant does not bloom, its leaves and branches radiate a strange smell, which I was not very pleasant. This is for an amateur.
After reading a lot of information about elderberry, I'm surprised. In our culture, this planting did not take root.
I read that in many nationalities, the elderly ripe elderberries are widely used. They are eaten raw, used in baking and are made from them drinks.
In those days when there was no Internet, I was told that the elderberry berries are poisonous. It is possible that someone tried to eat the immature berries, and this led to toxicity. Unripe elderberry berries are really toxic.
The seeds, leaves, bark and stems of the plant are considered poisonous.
Thus, steriotypes are born. Maybe because of this. the population of the town in moldova is very extensive. It can be seen in any planting of trees, along roads.
Many people do not suspect what a valuable product is next to them.
Inflorescences are helpful in diseases of the respiratory system. Berries, this is an excellent laxative. When you eat them, the main thing is then to have time to reach. This is probably the second reason why they look with apprehension at these berries. Public toilet next to can not be.
From the hollow branches of elder, they are empty inside, more precisely, there is a substance similar to cotton wool, which is easy to remove, we made flutes and whistles.
But, its name was received by the elder, because of its hollow trunks, furs were made to kindle foci and to supply air to the forge.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
Could it be profitable for a knowledgeable person to collect or harvest then to sell?

Many thanks @freedomshift ! I see people in the bazaar. who sell dried herbs and berries individually and more, make blends. Sets of different herbs, which in the end allow you to get a delicious drink, if you brew them, like tea. People sell the collected mushrooms in fresh form, they are sold in dried form, in the form of conservation, and in different ways. It's in its own juice and pickled mushrooms. Sell collected berries. The main thing is to know what exactly you are selling. At the expense of elderberry, I have never seen the sale of fresh elderberries. But, the inflorescences of this plant, in a dried form people sell. Herbs are not cheap. they lose a lot of weight in drying. The weight is not profitable to sell. And I doubt that, in addition to pharmaceutical companies, someone will buy for weight. You need to shuffle in small bags, make tags, describe what herbs are in the package. Then, in the market you can sell.
