TO IMPROVE YOUR LANDSCAPE 
ELDER 
Although the elders are attractive in flower and 
fruit, they are chiefly grown for their beautiful 
leaves, which make admirable fillers among other 
shrubs. Being rather tall growing and of robust 
habit, their use should be confined to backgrounds, 
screens or tall hedges.

with other shrubs, the golden yellow leaves of 
this European Elder give heightened effects in 
tone and color. Flowers white in flat-topped 
cymes. Grows naturally 10 to 15 feet but can 
be pruned into neat, compact little bush. 3 to 4 
feet.
