Are these elderberries?

I threw in a mixed native hedging pack down one boundary when we moved in a few years ago, as a wildlife friendly place holder as much as anything.

I think these are elderberries but I'm not familiar enough to be sure.

Anyone?

Look like Whinberries to me. Great in a pie!

Not in a hedge.
And that shows why you shouldn’t just pick berries without checking the plant they’re growing on

I know someone once who made a huge batch of elderflower champagne - with cow parsley!

Good job she didn’t do it with hemlock.

Oh wow. Did anyone try it?

Not me, thank goodness. Apparently it was horrible, I'm not sure if it fizzed up at all.
