I saw this huge pokeweed behind the White Raven Café - Felton CA near Santa Cruz

Bought an old falling down house to repair, the thing is overrun with bindweed and blackberry brambles among other invasives, so when I came across this giant shrub up against the house and saw the dark little berries on the bright red stems (not pictured) of course I assumed it was pokeweed. Apparently it's an elderberry shrub! They are easily mistaken, but what are the odds it was actually something desirable. Not entirely sure I wanted an elderberry shrub so I'm deciding if I want to keep it or let someone rehome it. They're edible but whether they are worth the trouble is another question.
