I'm located in the western United States. I don't know what it is with the deer here, but last spring I bought a Black Lace Elderberry and Lemon Lace Elderberry the same size as those in your video and by 3 weeks the deer had eaten them both to about 6-12 inches high. Somehow it didn't kill them. I moved them to my deck and they both began to get beautiful foliage by the fall, which was short lived. I enjoyed this video and found this plant's origin very interesting. Thank you!

Done!
Why did my new plant just drop half of it's leaves? It is still too cold to plant it so I have kept it in my house by a south facing window and keeping the soil moist but not too damp.
Hard to say, it depends on where the plant came from and what happened to it somewhere along the line. Sudden temperature changes, long trips in a truck, temporarily dried out etc. etc.
Hopefully your plant will recover and quickly settle in to thrive. Elderberries are pretty resilient and even though they might occasionally experience a set back, they usually recover and grow away strongly. Mind you, that may take a year or two.
One thing is important and that is that they like moist (not wet) soil, so be sure to put down a good deep layer of mulch and water well too during the summer months.

I’ve just purchased one of these but mine is a lot smaller. I’m looking for more info regarding pruning. I’ve read every three years to cut right back to a foot and to fertilise once in the spring. Is this right. I’m waiting to see if Laura from garden answer will do hers. I do better having watching someone with theirs. Any help would be great.
Stay tuned, we are shooting new videos all the time.
Regarding Black Lace pruning, it is up to you whether you prune it or not.... it responds well to pruning. So some people (that want the leafy foliage effect) cut it back annually (each spring), others every 2-3 years & some seldom. Either way, will work, it is just more lush and vigorous with pruning and of course grown for the foliage (rather than flowers and fruit). Of course, if you have the space you could consider getting more plants and prune them in different ways, and compare the difference.
Wow. That’s really incredible. I have some black lace but it’s nowhere near that size.
What causes white spots that become translucent and how do you fix it? I’ve tried cutting it off, using only bottled water, and hydrogen peroxide? I live in a very humid area. Have no idea what keeps killing this beautiful plant
We have never seen anything like the symptoms you describe in our region (Northeast and Mid-Atlantic): grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/, and therefore I am at a loss to know why this is happening. But, I suspect it may be that if you live in a hot, humid region it may be that your conditions are just too hot and humid for the plant to do well. You see, the origins of this plant hails from the cool, rainy, climate of northern Europe where Sambucus nigra (the ordinary green foliaged Elderberry) thrives all over rural areas of Ireland and Scotland in roadside clearings, hedgerows, forest edges etc. and a bit like myself, it loves cool temperate summers but struggles in the upper levels of hot, steamy, humid weather!
I suggest you get in contact your local extension office, any knowledgeable master gardeners or garden coaches in your area and see if they can help you diagnose the problem. Also, it would be interesting for you to take a look around your neighborhood to see if there's other ones growing well (or not).
I bought one and it was 3” big 3 years ago. Now it’s only 1’ big. Are they very slow growers?
And as you've probably noticed in our videos, we go to a lot of trouble to produce nice, big, premium sized plants that provide an "instant effect" once planted. The idea obviously is that you don't have to go through the anguish of nursing and trying to establish little baby plants.
In our nursery, we find Sambucus Black Lace to be a vigorous grower and in fact, we have to trim them regularly to keep them bushy and not too tall for shipping.
The best thing you can do is water it well during any prolonged periods, perhaps put down a light dressing of fertilizer and maybe even top dress the planting position with some garden or planting compost... and if you haven't already, mulch it to help keep the roots cool and moist in the heat of summer.
This will get it to break with new bushy growth from the base and by doing this regularly you will eventually wind up with a strong, growing plant.
Your local garden center will be able to advise and guide you with the best products for your area.

Can I prune this significantly to stay smaller?
Yes, it is possible to keep it smaller. But it takes several trims each year to keep it from shooting up and that also changes the elegant, habit of the plant.
When you trim it regularly, you would still get the lacy foliage but not so many flowers.
I have one in our garden and it is spectacular. I have attempted to propagate it in water like my other elderberries unsuccessfully. Has anyone been able yo propagate the black lace successfully?
They are propagated by cuttings but Black Lace® Sambucus nigra 'Eva' is protected by plant Patents (USPP 15,575, Can 2,633) and therefore propagation is prohibited.
@@OverdevestNurseries even if it is for personal use and not for resale?
Does this shrub do well in Virginia zone 7b?
There's no reason why not! The main thing will be to make sure it has plenty of soil moisture available during the hot, summer months. So, make sure to incorporate good amounts of organic matter in the planting hole, mulch and water them well until then become established. When you talk to the experts at our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ they will be ablet to guide you further.
When I bought mine it was about 1 foot high its only grown to about 18 inches in 2 years is that normal ? I've followed directions from every you tube video I watch ,I thought these were supposed to be fast growing from what most people say. I'm ready to get rid of it,at that rate of growth I won't be alive to see it reach maturity lol ,thank you
It is normally much faster growing than that. I am not sure (exactly) what is going but obviously there is an issue, something that is connected to its root system or summer temperatures..... perhaps too sandy, rocky or gravelly or the soil is too compacted (hard pan), something that is preventing the roots from spreading out to penetrate and reach out into the surrounding area. If it helps to understand,.... the green parent species (Sambucus nigra), thrives in cool, moist (often high proportion humus or clay soils) in cool, rainy European countries like my native Ireland or in Scotland where the original purple leaved variant was discovered. It is commonly found in hedgerows, which shows that once it get going, it grows fast and can compete with other vegetation.
In warmer climates and fast draining soils, generous sized planting holes with copious amounts of organic matter incorporated is advised, and at this stage, all we can suggest is to mulch the soil well, water well (especially during any dry periods), anything that help to aid the root system to be cool and moist.
