How to Grow Your Elderberry Plant:

✅ Planting Instructions:

• Choose a sunny or partly shaded location with well-draining soil.
• Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and mix in compost for nutrients.
• Space plants at least 6 feet apart for proper air circulation.

✅ Watering & Care:

• Water deeply once or twice a week, keeping soil consistently moist.
• Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

✅ Pruning & Maintenance:

• Prune in late winter or early spring to remove deadwood and encourage new growth.
• Elderberries spread via suckers—trim if needed to control size.

✅ Fertilizing:

• Apply a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring for healthy growth.

✅ Pollination & Fruit Production:

• While some elderberries are self-fertile, planting at least two plants will ensure the best berry production.
• Flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

✅ Harvesting & Usage:

• Harvest clusters of ripe, dark purple/black berries in late summer.
• Note: Berries must be cooked before eating, as raw elderberries can be mildly toxic.
