It's not the size of the bush, it's where you plant it that counts

A little smaller than I was expecting but it arrived healthy and is doing well.

Marge Elderberries are vigorous growers and we think you are going to be pleasantly surprised by how quickly it fills out in the right spot!

I planted the elderberry bush

I planted the elderberry bush in the fall and it’s growing and thriving. Super happy with the results and quality. Definitely company I would go back to for future purchases.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe love hearing this, Marija! Planting in the fall and watching it take off in the spring is one of the most satisfying things about gardening. We are so glad your Elderberry is thriving and we look forward to your next order!

Happy with them!

Orderd 2 one came healthier than the other but both perfectly fine given the trip. Interesting seeing how they graft these with one aged trunk and 1 green new growth just have to be careful planting not to disturb the joint.

Wrong timing

It's going dormant, let's wait until spring to see how it does

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Rueben, we appreciate your review. Dormancy is expected during this season, so your plant is just resting and storing energy. It should wake up and put out fresh growth in the spring. Feel free to reach out anytime if you need care tips.
