8-24" Bare Root Seedling
Black elderberry is a medium sized native shrub to small tree that grows naturally in woodlands, pastures, along roadsides and riverbanks.
The white flower clusters look like umbrellas and dark-purple berries are relatively sour though and edible for humans and wildlife alike. This species can form thickets and can work well as a hedge or screen in your landscape.
Height: 6-12 ft
Soils: Widely tolerant
Water: Moderately drought tolerant
Light: Full sun to part shade
Wildlife: Berries are relished by wildlife and are edible for humans, though with a lot of sugar!
