@@gardencrossings Thank you for this explanation. May I request that this information be put into any future actual videos, please? As Sophia Spencer (below this comment at this time) mentioned, we followers of Garden Answer are very protective of their account. They have been spammed in the past, so we tend to not trust entities who do not give them credit. We know that they have a business relationship with Proven Winners, because they have said so. Also, because they are so very popular, placing something in the video in the future may prevent this kind of backlash - in which I participated - and rightly so, I think. EDIT: Upon listening closer (and reading some of the other comments) that may be Laura's voice in the voice-over at the end, but it would still be appropriate to actually acknowledge them, in my humble opinion. And, I apologize for the "CZcams robbery" comment. I would delete it, but someone else has already referred to it so I'll own it.
In light of recent comments we have passed on the information to Proven Winners and Garden Answer and Aaron will make adjustments in the future. Thank you for your reply.
I think it’s rather sad that so called followers of Laura and Aaron are so “protective” of their channel that a group of people are commenting in mass on a very obvious proven winners partner on a video that Laura clearly is aware of as her own voice is in the video and says the words “garden crossings”. Maybe you should ask yourselves what would Laura do? She is always a picture of Grace even when people ask her about her baby being left home alone. Life is too short, step away from the CZcams comments. (I’m about to go take my own advice).
People like to just spout their mouth without understanding things. By doing so they may in fact affect other peoples livelihoods. I love it how people just post in here credit this and credit that...Laura and Garden Answer has a partnership with Proven Winners. She does spots for their products, brand and plants. There is no credit needed when it is done in partnership with sponsors. Sponsorships give creatives assignments and material may be used in kind. They get paid for this. Garden Answer makes these videos and when they feature Proven Winner products some of those videos are scooped up by their sponsors for video spot highlights. This is how the industry works...this is how people make a living off CZcams. Please understand the industry before you start bashing legitimate businesses. You may find yourself ruining other peoples livelihoods by making an issue of things when there are no legitimate issues.
@@gardencrossings No problem! I'm sorry you had to be thrown into "this drama" Seems lately there is quite this crowd of people that like to cause drama when they don't know how things work in the real world.

Tell you neighbour from Ireland 🇮🇪 what an amazing and beautiful garden they have and give us a full tourist view looks incredible don't the roses and black lace go so well together and bring out the blue sky much more God bless

That was so beautiful. It was spectacular. Black Elder in a number of varieties is so beautiful. I've got Black Tower that grows in a columnar fashion to fit in a small space.
I just bought my second lemony lace elderberry for that very reason; it looks very much like a Japanese maple tree but more hardy and resilient. I have not have seen the black lace one in my gardening centres yet. 🇨🇦
I have a love hate with these. My husband planted 2 of these as a privacy fence. They grew taller than our houses and we have tall houses. At least 10ft. We are in 8b in Eugene oregon and they love it here.
Oh WOW that's big!! You can trim them back to 18"-24" and let them grow back. Here is a video of what a trimmed one looks like: czcams.com/video/Fd2F1e7RwLE/video.html

I was wondering the same thing about Georgia Zone 8. It may have something to do with the combination of heat and humidity that prevents us from growing them here. Too much stress on them, but they are beautiful!
They can handle the heat, they just need the cold so they can go through a winter dormancy. It would be an experiment to see if it would work in your garden, but I have grown things in my garden that aren't supposed to be grown in my zone.
My thought is that she just did this spot for them. She does still have her very active channel, Garden Answer. Aaron and she mentioned before that they will only partner with people they’ve done business with before... in one of her videos of planting hydrangeas on her west side garden, she was talking about how they came from Michigan and were stuck in shipment for a long time, but the plants were still in fair condition. So, my guess is that this is one of the growers that Laura gets her PW plants from. ☺️ I’m so happy that Laura and Aaron have so many people looking out for them!

Shame on you for not understanding that Garden Answer makes videos like this for Proven Winners and its' subsidiaries. When folks like you spout like this and don't understand how Garden Answer makes their living...it's not off CZcams. It's off the sponsorships in conjunction with them. You are jeopardizing their relationships with these organizations by shaming their partners for using content that was created and shared for their use.
Kinda cracks me up when I hear "Elderberry". My maiden name was Elder & my nickname was Elderberry. Naturally I had to get one of these for my garden!
HaHa! Of course you had to get one for your garden!
I always think of the Monty Python quote from the Holy Grail ... "Your father smells like elderberries!"

A nice ornamental shrub!
We make jelly out of the wild elderberries! It has a taste sort of like a Black Berry. I'm in zone 8b North Florida.
Yes, I tend to choose to grow plant that I can eat. And this elderberry looks so beautiful
Is this a plant that elderberry syrup is made from?
Yes elderberry syrup is made frim elderberries. This may not be the best choice variety for syrup though. More for ornamental purposes.
I would like to plant them but don’t want to prune it. Can it not be pruned ever?
Yes, you can just let them go, however they won't flower after a few years. If you are not growing them for the flowers/berries, and just for the structure then you never have to prune it!
Hi Laura, I’ve always wanted one of these. Is it deciduous?
yes it is!
I think it’s rather sad that so called followers of Laura and Aaron are so “protective” of their channel that a group of people are commenting on a very obvious proven winners partner on a video that Laura clearly is aware of as her own voice is in the video and says the words “garden crossings”. Maybe you should ask yourselves what would Laura do? She is always a picture of grace even when people ask her about her baby being left home alone. Life is too short, step away from the CZcams comments. (I’m about to go take my own advice).
Sorry you are getting so much backlash Heidi. Love your channel, ignore the noise. Hopefully the next time pw releases videos to partners they’ll put a little “Laura from garden answer for garden crossings” title screen or something.
I hope you’re all writing to Laura to notify her that proven winners uses her photos in their print ads too! Scandalous!
I have made Aaron aware of the negativity we have received on this video and changes will be made in future videos. Thank you for your comment!
Hey Laura!!! What is something that has a similar look but will work in Zone 9 in Texas.
There isn't anything that super close to this look for zone 9. However, Proven Winners just added a Crapemyrtle to their lineup this year that has the dark foliage and gets large like the Elderberry but has pink flowers. Here is the link: www.gardencrossings.com/product/lagerstroemia-center-stage-pink/
Or there is one with red flowers. Here is that link: www.gardencrossings.com/product/lagerstroemia-center-stage-red/
@Cindy Bernal I've heard that Blue (Mexican) elderberry grows well in zone 9, it is listed as a native plant choice for me here California zone 9.
👋😃
Thank you for watching
Wish I was in zone 7 :(
They grow fine in zone 8.
Thank you for the tip
@@gardencrossings Mine grew so big the 2nd year I had it in the ground that I had to cut back some branches. I had a branch that was some 2 inches in diameter.
But I think I’m in zone 9A.
@@thedivide3688 that’s big!

Pretty aren't they?
I understand you work with Proven Winners, but you should give credit where credit is due. Especially when posting someone else's YT video on your YT channel. Poor taste. Credit for video goes to Garden Answer.

Why the heck is Laura doing a video for Garden Crossings?
I have a feeling they “borrowed” this video. They didnt even credit them!

Hi Laura from Garden Answer

Why are you showing Garden Answers videos???

This an older Garden Answer video with Laura. Why do you make it seem like it’s your video. You need to credit where you are “borrowing” videos from!

Shame on you for not giving credit to Garden Answer.
Shame on you for not understanding that Garden Answer makes videos like this for Proven Winners and its' subsidiaries. When folks like you spout like this and don't understand how Garden Answer makes their living...it's not off CZcams. It's off the sponsorships in conjunction with them. You are jeopardizing their relationships with these organizations by shaming their partners for using content that was created and shared for their use.
