WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED
ABOUT ELDERBERRY?
SAMBUCUS NIGRA
WHEN TO PLANT
These plants and bushes have shallow roots that are almost
mat-like in their growth pattern.
LIGHT
SOIL
Elderberry shrubs, plants and trees are not very fussy but
these plants will do best in moist, well-drained, and
moderately acidic soil. An elderberry plant will also do well in
clay soil but only if it is well-draining. They need moisture
around the roots to be absorbed.
WATER
A new shrub will need more water because its roots are so
shallow that it can not access water from deep in the ground.
FERTILIZER
POLLINATION
The elderberry plants, trees, as well as shrubs are typically
wind pollinated.
