The beautiful and attractive looking Elderberry trees have deadly hidden facts. The flowers have delicate scent and are used for making elderflower liqueur and soda. The flowers are often eaten after being battered and deep fried. But the roots of this tree are highly poisonous and can cause severe stomach problems.
