Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 15-30cm

Product Code:  SANI12
New crop available from August 2012.

From Only: £18.39 Ex VAT
Or £1.53 Per Plant


Our RHS Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) cell grown plants are extracted from their cells prior to despatch and are wrapped in protective packaging to ensure the root plug stays moist. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that cell grown plants can become more quickly established than bare root. Another advantage of cell grown Elderberry is that it can be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. As long as the roots are kept moist, cell grown plants can be planted throughout the year.

Complete Product Information for Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 15-30cm
Our RHS Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) cell grown plants are extracted from their cells prior to despatch and are wrapped in protective packaging to ensure the root plug stays moist.
The Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is a fast growing native deciduous shrub with graceful fern- like foliage and upright stems with fine green leaves. It produces clusters of creamy white flower in June and July; followed by large bunches of shiny black elder-berries high in Vitamin C. Both the flowers and berries are used in cordial and wine making. It comes into leaf early January and the leaves fall late in sheltered areas during November and have 57 leaflets with slightly serrated edges.

The Elderberry likes sunny areas to produce maximum fruit but will tolerate some shade. It is suitable for all soil but in particular prefers most and fertile soil. It is advisable to prune in March to create a low framework of branches to carry on new growth.

The Sambucus nigra has no serious insect or disease problems. Potential insects include black-fly and Glasshouse red spider mite. Toxicity; any part of the plant may cause discomfort if ingested. However the berries may be consumed if cooked.

Cell Grown hedges come with the benefit of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price. The plants come with their root systems intact whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September-October, March-April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. Infact unlike bare root you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist.
