Black Tower Elderberry 2G

Sleek Columnar Form with Dramatic Dark Foliage

Introducing the Black Tower Elderberry, a unique elderberry variety prized for its upright, columnar habit and rich, dark purple-black foliage. Unlike traditional spreading elderberries, this cultivar grows tall and narrow, making it ideal for tight spaces and modern landscapes. In early summer, clusters of soft pink flowers appear, followed by dark berries that add seasonal interest and wildlife value. Grown in a 2-gallon pot, it offers a healthy, landscape-ready start.
