Subspecies: S. nigra Linnaeus ssp. canadensis (Linnaeus) R. Bolli
Varieties: S. canadensis var. submollis Rehder; S. simpsonii Rehder ex Sargent; Sambucus canadensis Linnaeus var. laciniata A. Gray
Description
S. canadensis is a perennial shrub/tree of the Caprifoliaceae family native to North America, Canada, and Puerto Rico and introduced to Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin.[2]
Distribution
S. canadensis is found: everywhere in the United States excluding Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah; the Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia areas of Canada; every island of Hawaii; Puerto Rico; the Pacific Basin; and the U.S. Virgin Islands.[2] Specimens have been collected from swamp regions, bottomland woods, floodplain woods, and edge of fully shaded woods.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
S. canadensis proliferates in streambanks, thickets, marshes, moist forests, and disturbed areas.[1]
Phenology
S. canadensis has been observed to flower January through August. [4] The leaflets, particularly of young shoots or stunted sprouts, are often variegated. This is one of the first woody plants to leaf out in the spring. The variation is clinal, and bipinnate leaves are seen as far north as coastal NC. [1]
Fire ecology
S. canadensis is not fire resistant, but has a medium fire tolerance. [2]
Use by animals
S. canadensis is some palatable to browsing animals. [2]
