Black Lace^® Elderberry Sambucus nigra

My bush is several years old. just found paper on it. It says the berries are edible. please confirm. I have almost 2 cups of berries. Does anyone have instructions to make jam etc and how to remove simply the little stems

I bought 2 of this proven winner Black Laced Elderberry and 1 Laced Up Elderberry to increase pollination and increase berries. They have been planted in morning sun 6 to 7 hours full sun. So far I've had to remove some lower wilting stems, but am praying they all survive. I'm kinda upset most reviews are 11 to 12 years ago. So here is 2022!

The label reads "Medium Deer Resistant".... Must not be Maine Deer resistant. Two plants were located in a suburban area less than 100 yards from a high-traffic road and both have been whittled down to a size small after one winter season.

I bought this after buying a Black Lace first. I loved the black and wanted copious berries. Its year 2 now and both are green! I’d like to know what constitutes a “cooler” vs hot climate. I am in Zone 5. Its hot in the summer and that’s when plants grow so I am uncertain how to interpret the caution provided above that the black color is recommended for cool climates and it can green up in hot ones.

5 years ago I purchased 1 plant. Over the winter it died. The place I had purchased it had a warranty that they would replace after first winter if it died. I tried again and again it died. This plant is beautiful so I bought another and then a month later another store in the chain was offering the plant for $5 less than the last store. Just had too buy it as well. This year they are just blooming wildly. I have a sea of these pink white rosie and purple across my backyard. Everyday I see many new flower sites. I have berries galore and The tiny fruit flies are just starting to show up. Thank god I have plenty of berries all ready and I hope many of these flowers transform to fruit before the flies get to them. I live in zone 7.
