Bare Root ~ Green Elder Trees

The Elder is a small shrub-like tree that is native to most of Europe. The flowers and the berries are both used to make a variety of drinks and tonics. They are widely cultivated and grown for their pretty highly scented clusters of creamy flowers in early summer and their blue-black berries in autumn. Elders are easy to grow and tolerating semi shade are a useful addition to gardens and hedgerows. They are helpful to birds and butterflies and fallen fruit will help feed our little wildlife creatures.

Bare root trees are dispatched from November. If your order contains other plants or trees available now, please get in touch if you would like the other trees sooner.

Haschberg cultivar: A variety developed in Europe with the same scented white flower and delicious berries in late summer.
