Common Name: Elder
Sambucus, or elder, are vigorous trees with large creamy flowerheads in summer, followed by small black berries. Several cultivars are available with ornamental golden or purple leaves. They thrive in most soils, both wet and dry, so are a particularly good choice for difficult areas.
| Soil: | Well drained / moist |
| Aspect: | Full sun / part shade |
| Max Height: | 1.5m - 4m |
| Extra Info: | You should water newly planted elders regularly for at least the first year, until their roots have spread out into the soil. Once established, elders are drought tolerant and shouldn’t need additional watering. However, during periods of prolonged drought they may need additional water even when established. Look out for signs of water stress: shrivelled leaves with brown edges and leaves falling off prematurely. |
| Type: | Deciduous |
| Toxicity: | No reported toxicity to humans or animals |
