About This

• SUN: Elderberries prefer full sunlight, which will result in the most flowers and berries. Partial shade is fine if you are not anticipating buds or fruits.
• SOIL: Elderberry trees are not very finicky but they will do best in moist, well-drained, and moderately acidic soil. An elderberry plant will do well in clay soil but only if it is well-draining.
• WATER: Give your elderberry shrubs 1 to 2 inches of water per week in the summer. A new shrub will need extra water because its roots are so shallow that it can't access water from deep in the soil. For young plants, water 2 inches per week in the warm weather. Applying 2 to 3 inches of mulch around the plants will help the soil retain moisture and serve as an organic, slow-release fertilizer.
• EXPECTED BLOOMING PERIOD: Bloom in spring.
• PLANTING SUGGESTIONS: Older canes will not be able to produce as much fruit on their tips as they used to so these stems, along with dead ones, will need to be pruned in late winter to early spring so the bush does not waste energy on supporting non-producing wood.
