Start your food forest today! I grow elderberry, variety Adam throughout my food forest. Unlike the elder variety “nigra”, which grow into trees, these elder plants retain a smaller bush like structure. In my food forest, left unpruned they reach a max height of around 2 metres. However, I do tend to give them a good trim- almost down to ground level in winter. I grow elder for the flowers (elderflower champagne), and also for the berries (elderberry syrup is the best for winter chills and colds). They are also a very attractive looking plant.
The plants that I sell will be last years cuttings, trimmed to around 15cm. They will be sent almost bare rooted. Get these plants in the ground and you will be harvesting flowers and berries in the summer. Not kidding- even as cuttings they were still producing flowers and berries in their first year!
This is for 1 plant.
These plants are grown organically.
