Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sambucus nigra Golden Tower 'Jdeboer001' is an amazing columnar addition to the elderberries with strongly upright stems 6-8 feet tall and only 3-4 feet wide covered in dissected golden and lime green foliage. Flat-topped clusters of white, self-fertile flowers in early summer can be followed by purple-black, edible berries. More fruit is produced if a different cultivar is also present. Tolerant of moist sites.

Similar to S. 'Black Tower' but bright golden yellow foliage. Great for a pop of color in a narrow place.

By: Gossler Farms

Glowing column of lacy, shimmering yellow, deciduous foliage 8-10’ tall and 3’ wide. White umbels of flowers in early summer attract bees, butterflies and hummers. If another Sambucus pollinating cultivar is nearby, red berries may follow flowers. Full sun to part shade, most soils, moderate moisture but drought tolerant and deer/critter resistant.
