Elder

Now gracing the lanes and tracksides across the Peak is the white Elder Flower, following on from Rowan and Hawthorn. Like Rowan, and unlike Hawthorn, Elder is a fast-growing and short-lived tree and often to be seen in a state of decline with bark stripping off.

 
Standing in their favour is their culinary value. Hawthorn is a much more robust and long-lived tree but most people leave the haws for the birds.
