The Sutherland Gold cutleaf Sambucus/Elderberry is the fastest growing of the four varieties that I have in the back garden. I have high hopes for "Black Lace" though .. I may move it next year so it is closer to this one and will really play off each others assests. It was recommended as the poor man's version of a Japanese Maple .. I guess I will have to wait until next year to see if it lives up to such praise ? In the mean time the gold cutleaf is remarkable to me.
