Thank you-I love gardening its my peace time-no thanks to the drought question. Last time we had a drought my water bill was $300.00-and I didn't have a sprinkler system and I had to run around with hoses and huge sprinklers. Finally had a system put in last year.
This is the central point-my Guincho Purple Elderberry-he's 4 years old.

Lovely. When they all grow up it will look just like a mini forest. Just the style I like. :-) Can't wait to see it in a few years.

Thank you I keep the shrubs well trimmed-already trimmed the sambucus twice. You know what they say-first year they sleep, second they creep and third they leap-I guess this is leap year!

That looks beautiful! I love your purple elderberry. May have to look for one of those. I am about to start working on a new shrub border.

Thank you cyn427-Its a beautiful shrub and extremely hardy-I have trimmed it twice already as it would take over the area. I started this garden for the bird interest with the berries-but my viburnum, which I planted with mates, have yet to berry. So right now its just pretty to look at. Purple Guincho and my Black Lace elderberry is the only ones that flowered this year.
