Default elderberry bushes do not set frit

We have a lot of wild elderberry, and they grow and bloom luxuriently
but I have never seen them set fruit. The blossoms simply drop. What
is up here?

My guess -not pollinated, try planting a few commercial varieties to
add a source of pollen, Adams , Johns etc.

Be sure you have elderberry, some plants mimic them and may be
seriously poisonous. Some types of wild elderberries don't set fruit.
some need particualr cultivars for cross polination.
