Sambucus nigra 'Laced Up' (Elderberry) 3 gallon xmas and superb spring flower showYou've never seen an elderberry like Laced Up before: it combines a striking fastigiate habit with lacy, near black foliage. The effect is something like a flock of birds taking flight. Pink flowers in early summer turn to black fruit if a pollinator (like Black Lace, Black Beauty, or Instant Karma elderberry) is planted nearby.
