I have a black elderberry, Sambucus nigra, called Black Lace. It is a 
beautiful variety with lacey almost-black leaves and stems and pink 
flower clusters. I was hoping for fruit, but this is my 2nd year with 
this plant, and only one berry has developed each year. I did some 
research and found hybrid elderberries require a second variety for 
berry production. Has anyone had luck with Black Lace for fruit? Any 
specific varieties required, or will any S. nigra do?
