Grow Guide

PLANT USES: Elderberry preserves or juices are made from the fruits. The plant is considered a native wetland plant and is used for rejuvenation projects. One specimen plant will provide enough fruit for a family. The unopened flower buds are used as a substitute for capers. The roots and root bark, leaves, and flowers have medicinal qualities. The fruits offer nutritious fruits for wildlife and the plant's large canopy of branches and foliage offers protection for wildlife.
WATER REQUIREMENTS: Apply water weekly for the first 6 to 8 weeks until the plant is established. The plants' vigorous root system will find water. In sandy soils apply water as needed during a dry spell. The plants are found in their native habitat near wetland areas so they can survive in high moisture areas.
