Our Black Lace Elderberry that I planted a couple of years ago is thriving. It must like acidic soil. I really like elderberries (a memory from my childhood) but Arn really dislikes them. When I bought this plant @ Tagawa (a wonderful nursery north of Parker) the specialist didn't even know you could eat the berries.
The bush has yet to produce berries. Ususally with the monsoons (now here), it will get destroyed by the hail (had some last night) and I'm not sure if that is why it has never produced fruit. We'll see this year......if not, Meredith knows some secret places (not really secret, people just don't know or like the berries) in Boulder. Right now I have two bottles of Elderberry Syrup which I'm using to sweeten tea and use on pancakes.
