Sambucus nigra 'Black Beauty'®
Black elder
Dark purple foliage sets this elder apart, held on a bush of 4-6 m in height and spread. Pink flower heads open in late spring against the near-black leaves. It is deciduous and can be pruned hard to keep it to a smaller size.

About sizes
CLT is a container volume in litres, VRL the same in a decorative red container. M is a field-grown plant lifted with its root ball, MGR the same grown in isolation and wire-balled. RN is bare root, available in the dormant season. T is a full standard and POT a planter. Heights are given as a range in centimetres; trunk girth is the circumference measured at one metre. A larger container is not always dearer: a trained or grafted form of the same volume costs more than a bush, and the form is named on the row.
