How deep to plant elderberry?

Elderberry plants should be planted at a depth of about 1-2 inches deeper than they were growing in their nursery pots. Ensure that the root crown is just below the soil surface to promote healthy growth. If planting bare-root Elderberries, make sure the roots are spread out and covered adequately, but avoid burying the crown too deeply. Proper planting depth helps the plant establish well and thrive.
