Elderberry can be a very powerful plant when evolved, which can turn him into an instant threat at turn 4, or even an earlier turn than that if you manage to make more sun via cards such as Solar Winds.
This plant can be a huge threat if evolved, with 5, 4, and Strikethrough. When evolved, taking him down before he can attack is highly recommended, since he can potentially take a large chunk of your health away once he attacks. If he is not evolved, however, Elderberry can be easily destroyed with Rolling Stone, Weed Spray or Celestial Custodian played in an environment.
Brainy heroes can easily destroy Elderberry with Rocket Science if he is evolved, or Cut Down to Size in the case of Template:PvZH Link and Rustbolt. Sneaky heroes in general can use Deadly zombies to take down Elderberry, although this still allows Elderberry to attack and possibly land devastating damage on your hero. To further assist this strategy, use bonus attack cards such as Lurch for Lunch as either Super Brainz or Huge-Gigantacus (unless Wing-Nut is on the field), or Freezing cards such as Frosty Mustache to prevent it from attacking so the Deadly zombie can destroy Elderberry before he can attack. Cakesplosion and Final Mission do enough damage to take it out in one hit.
