Plant I.D. please
At an 'open gardens' event in July I took a cutting of this plant (with
permish!) and it took successfully. I would like to know what it is. Thanks mark Images he http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/q...ent=Plant1.jpg http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/q...nt=Plant1a.jpg |

None of the cultivar names in Plant Finder rings a bell, but Google finds me Sambucus nigra Black Lace, which may be the cultivar you have. Further googling informs me that that Black Lace is a sales name for Sambucus nigra 'Eva', which is in Plant Finder.

They claim it bears very heavy crops of berries "prized in California for pies, jams and wine". This makes me wonder if it's a better fruit than our native elder, which can certainly give good wine if you know what you're doing, but I wouldn't choose to make jam out of. Has anybody any knowledge or experience of this tree? -- Mike. |

Yes the american elders grow well in the uk and flower well but the fruit set is never as heavy as our native elder and the birds strip them before they are ripe (so they are tasty) Thanks, Charlie. -- Mike. |
