2 American Elderberry Plants - Sambucus canadensis - Live Plants 4 to 6 inches


2 American Elderberry


(American Black Elderberry, Common Elderberry)

(Canada Elderberry, American Elder) 


Botanical Name: Sambucus canadensis 


Immune supporting berry plant.


This listing is for two (2) American Elderberry plants that range in size between 4 and 6 inches in height. 


The plants you will receive will be between these ranges of size as there will be slight differences from the photos in the listing as no two plants are the same. They will be guaranteed vibrant and healthy and ready for transplanting. We do not ship with the pot as the pot allows for too much soil moisture evaporation. It will be securely adhered to the package wall for the safest shipping method possible. 


PLEASE BE ADVISED: From October to March, we ship these plants in their dormant state. This means they will have no leaves. The stem will be strewn with buds for this coming spring's growth. If you live in a southern state, these will push new growth upon planting them as dormancy is dependent on hours of daylight and temperature. We are located in New York State and temperatures can differ drastically around the country.  Please contact us with any questions on dormancy. We do send dormant planting instructions with every order.
