Question
Here is a tree or shrub that showed up along the property line with my neighbor's yard. it is flowering now but has just a few white flowers. It is on a shady slope with hemlocks towering overhead and Rhododendron bushes. The soil is acidic and it is about 30 feet from a pond.
Answer
Dear CarolBEE, good morning. There may be more than one species represented in your photographs. The flowering shrub looks like Sambucus nigra (black elderberry), but it also appears that Prunus serotina (black cherry) is also represented in some of the images. Best wishes.
