Are these Elder berry trees/shrubs?

[chas0218]

I apologize ahead of time if I'm posting this in the wrong section I didn't really know which section this belongs in. The pictures suck I couldn't get my phone to focus on the small stems and berries but I think this is an elder berry patch just not sure. I am trying to rotate these but there isn't an option too anyone know how to?

Nope...Elderberries grow   in clusters of many hundreds of berries, kind of resembling miniature grapes..They are  small berries, perhaps 1/4 the size of blue berries or smaller..

I have seen those berries in your pictures,but I'm not sure what they are...I have found them in  the craws of grouse often..

I'm sure Growie or  one of the other plant experts on the forum will be able to identify them..

gray dogwood?

Have them on my property and that's what I thought they were.  But I am likely wrong if Pygmy says so!  Those look like most berries dropped.  Mine are still pretty full or were last sit.

I think you might be right, I remember seeing white flowers not sure if it was these or not. These are growing wild in the poplars on my property. I wasn't sure what they were though it would be cool if they were elder berries I know a lot of people that make jam from them. I'll have to keep looking. I found some hawthorn and apple trees all over the property.

Agree not elderberries. There was an elderberry bush behind the 6th tee at golf course I used to belong to. Man them things were bitter.  You could spit purple for an hour after eating a cluster. But lots of sugar and made into a pie was scrumptious. 

Dingle berries ?

I'm pretty sure they are the dogwoods. a property I hunt has acres of the.

Yeah looks like it from all the pictures I have found, Also found out that you can make a tea from the bark to treat fevers, diarrhea, and headaches. Neat to know. I know willow bark can be used as a tea to act as a blood thinner (as long term use) and aspirin for occasional use. I'm no hippy or herbalist just neat to know what these different plants do.
