GROWING AND CARE
Choose an outdoor location with good light and soil that retains some moisture while draining adequately. Water regularly while the plant establishes, especially during dry weather. Because elderberry can spread by suckers, allow enough room for its mature growth or plan to manage new shoots.

Flowering and fruit production depend on plant maturity, pollination, weather, and care. Do not assume the plant will arrive with flowers or fruit unless the current condition is specifically confirmed.

ABOUT ELDERBERRY FRUIT
American elderberry is grown for its fruit as well as its ornamental qualities. Elderberries should not be eaten raw or unripe; proper preparation is important, and other plant parts may be toxic. Keep the plant and harvested material away from children and pets unless you can ensure safe handling and preparation.
