Differences In Elderberry Stems

Question

I have seen elderberry plants around and have noticed that some stems for the fruits are red and some are green. The fruits are ripe, but there is the color difference just in the stems. Just wondering.

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. This can be due to temperature, phosphorous deficiency, or high pH, depending on how it appears, and what a soil test reveals.
