Pollination Info
Marge Elderberry Bush Pollination
Marge Elderberry Bushs are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Marge Elderberry Bush will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant in an area where it can receive partial shade or full sunlight (around 6 hours per day) in well-draining soil, with enough space for it to grow.
2. Watering: Since this plant prefers moist soils, ensure you are watering enough so that the soil doesn’t dry.
3. Pruning: Pruning may typically be for cosmetic purposes, so trim back any unruly branches or leaves. In winter, you can also prune dead or weakened stems to encourage growth.
