Description

Elder (Sambucus nigra) tree in a pot

Elder is a small tree, popular for gardens, providing a display of fragrant flowers and soot-dark fruits.

You can use the flowers create cordial and the fruit for wine and preserves.

According to folklore, if you burn elder wood, you will see the devil, but if you plant elder by your house it would keep the devil away.

The flowers appear in May – June and the vitamin C rich berries ripen in late summer.

Elder is common across the UK and its flowers provide nectar for a variety of insects and the berries are eaten by birds and mammals.

Typically, Elder will grow to between 5 – 7 metres

Lovely little tree

My tree arrived promptly and in perfect condition, the packaging was sturdy and the very healthy plant undamaged. I planted it immediately and it’s already beginning to flourish in spite of the dry weather.
