Growing Information

American Elderberry thrives in moist, well-drained or loamy soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. Moderate watering is recommended to maintain healthy growth. This perennial shrub is hardy in USDA zones 3 through 9. While the berries are edible, they must be cooked before consumption as raw berries, leaves, and stems are toxic if ingested.
