American Black Elderberry

Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, elderberries are not only beneficial to people but also your garden. These shrubs flower well through much of the growing season providing pollinators such as bees and butterflies an abundant and constant source of food and the fruit adored by birds. Planting several of these shrubs throughout your orchards or gardens can help attract more pollinators and help achieve maximum pollination. Not only that but fruit begins to grow just a year after planting, fully producing fruit within the second to third year.
