Frequently Asked Questions

How tall does an elderberry tree get?

Elderberry trees typically grow 8 to 12 feet tall, forming a full, rounded shape. They produce fragrant white blooms in spring followed by clusters of dark, edible berries. Their manageable size and beauty make them perfect for gardens and wildlife areas.
Where should I plant my elderberry tree?

Plant your elderberry tree in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained soil. It thrives in open areas like garden edges or along fences where it has room to spread. With sunlight and consistent moisture, it grows strong and produces abundant berries each year.
Do you need two elderberry trees?

Yes, planting two elderberry trees is best for good fruit production. They cross-pollinate with each other, which leads to larger and more plentiful berry clusters. Having more than one also enhances the beauty and productivity of your garden.

Red Maple

I had doubts when I first opened the box. Packaged well. After planting them after two weeks they came to life and are flourishing quite well. They are very healthy and now branching out vividly. Thank you!

Giant Chicory!

I purchased a selection of blue plants. I planted the bare roots in a large planter I call the nursery. I wait until they are adapting to their new environment. When they start growing about three inches, I transplant to a larger pot, then to their permanent location in my garden. One grew to four feet. Others are 1- 2 feet! I can see buds sprouting and can’t wait until they bloom. I did have to cut the 4ft one down to 2 ft so it would get fuller.

My favorite spring flower

My absolute favorite spring flower. I’ve bought several over the years. Sometimes I’ve found they might not come up until the second year but most from this nursery come in the next spring.
