Are the green ripe berries on elder bushes edible?

Answer

I’ve never heard of an elderberry bush where the ripe berries are green. It would of course be interesting to see a picture of it. In any case, different types often look very similar. With the slightest doubt, it is therefore strongly not recommended to eat the berries.
