‘Marge’ is a hybrid between the American Sambucus canadensis and the European Sambucus nigra which gives us an elderberry plant with all the characteristics of the European varieties but free from the diseases that plague so many. The berries are larger than the American varieties and ‘Marge’ is also self-pollinating so only one plant is necessary for fruit production. Flowers form on last year’s woody growth, so fruit will form the second year after planting. The berries contain antioxidants and flavinoids considered to be antiviral with immune-building benefits. Elderberry syrup is sold to treat colds, coughs and other upper respiratory ailments. Elderberries can be made into jam, jelly, wine, juice, syrup or pies.

Fabulous but bigger than expected

Marg is not quite 3 years old. She was delivered as a tiny plant of perhaps 6 inches but she was obviously healthy. She is now like a huge fountain with minimal new canes at the base. This is the second year flowering. How I wish to post a picture! She is nearly 15 ft tall! This plant is absolutely gorgeous! Covered in elderflowers now. Last summer the flowers were staggered throughout the season which was lovely. Big black berries once ripened!
The other good news is that it's easy to prune canes off to shape to preference. I love Marg!

Very healthy

My elderberry plant arrived in very healthy condition. Two weeks later, it's growing beautifully. I'm really pleased with this purchase.
