Additional Information

American Black Elderberry

This species is native to North America. Hardier than the European Sambucus nigra, and fruits on first-year wood.

Elderberries

Considered self-fertile but multiple plants will improve fruit set—it’s okay to mix species.

Plant 4–6' apart. Best in rich soil but adaptable to a variety of soil types. In spring, while plant is still dormant, prune away any weak, broken or dead canes.
