In 1998-2000 a field experiment was conducted to compare four Danish cultivars of elderberry ('Alleso', 'Korsor', 'Sampo' and 'Samyl') with its wild-growing form from the vicinity of Olsztyn, and also to compare two different sites of cultivations. The noble cultivars of elderberry and its wild-growing form differed from each other with respect to morphological features of fruits. A distinct difference in the morphology of umbels and fruits between plants grown at two sites was observed. Bushes grown in the soil rich in plant nutrients, class IV had more umbels and larger fruits.
