Black Lace has striking purple foliage with lovely pink flowers. These flowers are fragrant. Dark purple or black coloured elderberries follow in late summer to autumn, ideal for those who like to make wine. This tree is best suited to either full sun or partial shade.

See What Our Customers Are Saying About Our Sambucus Nigra Black Lace Eva
Hello Alan, Our new Sambucus Nigra arrived safe and sound and has now taken up residence in the grounds enjoying the last vestiges of summery weather. A fine specimen it is too! The couriers left the package on the patio as instructed and it certainly appeared that our tree had made the journey the right way up and had been handled with care. With thanks John & Liz 0913

Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A Fence
It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. So if the canopy of your ornamental tree can sunbathe but the bottom of your tree thinks there has been a nuclear winter then that is ok. You might want to ensure you have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other such issues.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
