Planting Instructions:
Select a location that receives full sun to partial shade and has fertile, well-drained soil. Dig two holes approximately 6-10 feet apart to provide ample space for growth and to facilitate cross-pollination. Plant each elderberry at the same depth it was growing previously, with the root crown level with the soil surface. Fill in the holes, water well to settle the soil around the roots, and add a layer of mulch to help maintain soil moisture and temperature.
