    Wondering what this could be in our Victoria backyard? It's completely bare and tiniest buds just started showing up.

    Maybe someone will id it now...but it would be safer to wait to see what the leaves look like.
    Please add clear pics to this thread when the leaves are fully open.

    Bud colour and sprawling form lead me to think it is the native red elderberry.
