Fast-Growing — Fully Established in Just a Couple of Years
These are not slow-growing ornamentals. Elderberry shrubs are vigorous, fast-growing plants that will reach their full height of 11 feet (3.5m+) in just a couple of short years — giving you a lush, established hedgerow or privacy screen faster than almost any other plant. Hardy, low maintenance, and built to thrive in the local climate.

About These Plants
These shrubs are already at least 1 metre tall with strong, well-established root systems — ready to hit the ground running in your garden. Currently priced at $60, the price will be increasing once they are re-potted into larger pots, so now is the perfect time to grab one and save.
Planting & Care Tips
Now through to spring is the ideal time to plant your elderberry shrub. Elderberries thrive in a sunny to part-shade position with well-drained soil and regular watering while establishing. For best results, fertilise regularly during the growing season to encourage lush, vigorous growth and a spectacular flowering display.
Plant 6 feet (approx. 2 metres) apart for a hedgerow or privacy screen effect, or as a standalone feature plant. They respond well to pruning if you want to keep them more compact.
