    I have a black elderberry Aurea, a decorative shrub with yellow young leaves, which then turn yellow-green. I am interested in the question - is this decorative elder only, or can it be used for treatment?

      Aurea is simply a decorative form of black elderberry, so it has the same useful properties as a regular black elderberry. For example, flowers are allowed to be used for colds, even by scientific medicine (flowers must be collected at the very beginning of blooming, then dried at a temperature of no higher than 30-35 °). In addition, diaphoretic, diuretic, anti-febrile and anti-inflammatory effects are attributed to elderberry flowers. The bark has diuretic properties. Berries are famous | as sweatshops and weak- | body product.

      Juice, wine, jam, various medicinal tinctures are made from ripe black fruits. In folk medicine, the berries are used to improve immunity, help with constipation, stomach problems, varicose veins, increase overall tone. The only thing that should be considered, - an elder contains toxins. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the manufacturing technology and in no case exceed the dosage.

      Elderberry is a malleable culture: from it you can grow both a standard shape and a large rounded bush with numerous branches extending almost from the soil itself. The latter option is more convenient for gardeners - amateurs.

      To culture fruited in the first year after planting, only two of the most powerful, non-competing shoots are left in the bush. In the future, the bush is formed from 10-12 branches from 1 to 6 years.

      Every year in the early spring before the beginning of the sap move, remove all shoots older than 5-6 years, and also cut thickening, weak, unsuccessfully located, lying on the ground, broken, dry and damaged branches. The bush must have uneven-aged branches, but with the predominance of shoots of 2-3-year-old age, on which the crop is formed.
      Places of cuts do not forget to process with garden fumes.

    This large shrub grows on any soil, but prefers moist places. The most suitable place for elderberry is on the edge of the pond, drainage ditch. It grows very quickly, but individual branches lose decorativeness after a few years.

    Therefore, to form a lush round crown, it is recommended that every 3 year completely cut out the bush.
    The form of Aureus (Aurea) has golden-green leaves, against which the clusters of black berries stand out by the end of summer.
