Known for its fern-like green foliage, broad clusters of tiny white flowers in summer, and heavy yields of small dark purple berries in late summer to early fall, it makes a striking and productive addition to mixed borders, hedgerows, and wildlife-friendly plantings. This listing is for one bare root plant measuring 12-24 inches tall, shipped in dormant condition ready to establish.\u003cbr\u003e\nAmerican Elderberry works well as a specimen shrub or grouped in a hedgerow for cross-pollination and a fuller berry set. The flowers add a delicate, airy look in summer, while the berries can be gathered for jams, jellies, syrups, and pies once fully ripe. It grows vigorously in moist, well-drained soil and responds well to annual pruning to keep plants tidy and productive.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Sambucus canadensis\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous flowering shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant Habit: Upright, spreading, suckering\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral\u003cbr\u003e\nDays to Harvest: Fruit ripens late summer to early fall\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3-9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 6-10 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Plant two or more for best fruit set; prune in late winter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663447949448,"sku":"BTR-005","price":38.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_7b93e877-824b-435e-b4be-a6d1c9dd2de8.png?v=1791897232","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/1-live-plant-american-elderberry-tree-12-inches-tall-sambucus-canadensis-bare-root","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
