The plant in this picture stayed green all winter through our harsh freezes. I think it is the elderberry that I got from Dennis at the Spring Roundup. Do they normally stay green through the winter?

I need to move this from the backyard, since we just got two puppies and I read that elderberries can be toxic if chewed. I'm looking for a new spot out front and wondered if it would make a good screen for our front seating area. It's grown a LOT in the past month!
