FarmVille Elderberry
Since Elderberry is a permanent crop, it is not expiring from the FarmVille Market and Crop Master will be available!
Elderberry, also known as Sambucus, has a wide range of medicinal uses including the treatment of influenza B and flu symptoms, the berries themselves have been used traditionally throughout Europe to make wines, jams, teas, and syrups. However, the twigs and leaves of Elderberry can be poisonous. Some other interesting facts about the folklore surrounding Elderberry include, ”
- “The Elder Tree was supposed to ward off evil influence and give protection from witches, a popular belief held in some cultures. If an elder tree was cut down, a spirit known as the Elder Mother would be released and take her revenge. The tree could only safely be cut while chanting a rhyme to the Elder Mother.“
- “The most powerful wand in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is a wand made of sambucus known as the “Elder Wand“.:
- “In some regions, superstition, religious belief, or tradition prohibits the cutting of certain trees for bonfires, most notably in Witchcraft customs the Elderberry tree; “Elder be ye Lady’s tree, burn it not or cursed ye’ll be” –A rhyme from an Oral tradition.” (Source: Wikipedia)

Since its a ‘BERRY’ , it should have been a 4 hour crop like blackberry, blueberry, strawberry.
Though, rasberry and cranberry are 2 and 10 hour crops.

2 XP for 12 hours? I will definitely do this. I’m doing purple peas right now. Also a great bargain.

I may never get a never mastery-every time they come out with new crop I switch.
Elderberries also make good wine-my grandma used to make some every year. Dandelion wine too.
