Planted and it began to grow, then a deer chomped it and it"s dead. Would need to use deer netting to protect it for the first years if I tried it again.

An elderberry like no other!
Beautiful elderberries like Black Lace® and Black Beauty® have long been some of our most popular varieties - but as fairly large plants, not everyone has space for them. Enter Laced Up® elderberry, an amazing narrow, upright variety that takes up only a few square feet of ground. Feathery black foliage covers broomstick-straight stems that shoot toward the sky but stay in a narrow column. Early summer brings hundreds of pink flowers to contrast with the leaves. It's an exotic looking plant that's surprisingly hardy and easy to grow! Available in better garden centers in spring 2018. This plant was formerly known as Strait Laced® elderberry.
Top reasons to plant Laced Up® elderberry:
- Columnar habit takes up far less space than other elderberries
- Elegant, feathery black foliage provides unmatched color and texture
- Pink flowers in early summer

Maintenance Notes:Laced Up® elderberry is very easy to care for. It does not need regular pruning, but any dead wood should be removed in early spring. Any errant shoots can be pruned out to the ground as needed. Plant in full sun for best color and shape. This plant is not recommended for warm climates.
All elderberries are toxic to pets and livestock. Because the foliage has a distinctive scent, however, animals tend to leave it alone.
Looking for berries? You will need Black Lace elderberry as pollinator.
Fun Facts:The term "strait laced" refers to a specific method of lacing shoes, corsets, or other apparel so that it could be quickly cut off the wearer in the event of an emergency.
