Sambucus caerulea

Blue elderberry is a PacificĀ Coast native that is beautiful in all seasons. In the spring, enjoy the many white flower clusters. In the fall, the 15-20 foot spreading, arching bush is covered with large clusters of small powder blue berries that are prized for cooking, jelly and wine. A powdery white coating makes the berries look blue - underneath, they are dark and full of the same high nutrition and immune-boosting properties as their American and European cousins. An amazing, structural bush for hedgerows and screening unsightly views! Self fertile.

USDA Zone: 2-9

Grow Height: 20' (Large)

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: Late Summer

Pollination: Self Fertile

Glad to have found this

Miss having blue elderberry and now I've got one! Trying to incorporate plants from the PNW that are hardy here in the upper midwest to bring a little bit of my home state to my new home.

Not happy

I paid for established trees instead I got cuttings. One didnā€™t even have roots on it

Excited about this plant

I was worried that the plant arrived quite dry, but after being in the ground a few days and watering often, now it's putting out new growth!

Personal attention from knowledgeable staff, quality plant

I love your company. I appreciated your emails along the way until the elderberry arrived. I especially liked Laura's YouTube video about how to handle the unpackaging. First I thought her instructions were wacky. Now I'm a disciple, having watched many of her videos. Two weeks in the ground, the elderberry is already sprouting new leaves.

Alive and healthy

Not the best value compared to buying cuttings, however, the plant was well packaged and seemed to have a healthy (but small) root system.
