I've just received a pack of 25 Sambucus nigra
'Aurea' from a hedging company.

You *buy* elderberry plants?

Jeez!

It was a joint decision between the 3 allotments to go
for the 'Aurea' - rather than the species proper,
referred to by Dave. All the stuff I've seen in
hedgerows, isn't Aurea. We also thought that a cost
over just over a quid per plant, it wasn't worth the
risk of annoying local farmers.
