Planting Instructions:
Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Dig a hole that is twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Position the elderberry in the hole so that the roots are spread out and the base of the stem is level with the ground surface. Backfill the hole with soil, water generously to settle the roots, and add a layer of mulch to retain moisture and help regulate soil temperature.
