Red Elder in Pitmedden forest North Fife dotted about in clear felled ground, it's not native to the UK coming from Canada and the Americas. The fruits can be used for preserves and drinks but must be heated first to destroy harmful compounds, it is a rich source of vitamins, flavenoids and antioxidants.
