Hello!
I’ve had my eye on this wild shrub for a few weeks now and I’m thinking of propagating it. I’ve read several “how to” propagate the Black Elderberry but before I get my hopes up and start dreaming in advance I need to know if it really is a Black Elderberry. What do you think it is? Unfortunately, I haven’t seen it “in bloom” so these 6 photos are all that I have:

Thank you all for your responses! (y)

Martin Mikulcik "Privet"​

Chuck "Of all the look alikes I think Pokeweed is the closest match"​

Meadowlark "not black elderberry but not sure what it is and suspect it is more than one plant"​

Sluggy "Might be black nightshade"​

Sheal "the leaf shape doesn't look right for either elderberry or nightshade"​

I've considered all of them and did a comparative search in Google plus some photos I took just an hour ago.
