Sambucus has grown so tall this year and now looks like part of the neighbour's huge Beech tree!

That’s incredible Shirley!

Sheila, I know! It's only because the neighbours have removed virtually every shrub from their garden that I left the Sambucus to grow and grow. It will be a sad day if they remove the Beech tree ...

Looking pretty Shirley.

Wow Shirley! That is enormous. I have one in a big pot so hopefully will not grow too big.

Rose, this is a pretty old specimen planted in 2012 and wasn't pruned back hard last year. It is S. 'Black Lace'.

Mine is Black Lace too Shirley. I saw it when on holiday and bought it. I had to leave mine in the Laceby garden as it was too big to move.

Rose, that's a shame you had to leave it behind. Here's hoping yours in the big pot can be kept to a smaller size than this, ha, ha!
