Strange growth: Crown gall?


High up on a tree northern UK (sorry I don't know the species).

    Plant looks like Elder *Sambucus nigra.* Not familiar with galls though.

    Quick search tells me the the Crown gall bacterium does not infect Sambucus (elderberry). Only leaf galls are reported as infecting it. So, you may be left with it being a “strange growth”.
