Sambucus nigra GOLDEN TOWER (PBR) is a deciduous shrub selected for its upright outline and bright foliage rather than traditional elderflower display. It grows with a naturally narrow, vertical form, producing upright stems clothed in finely divided leaves that emerge a clear golden-yellow in spring. This strong colour is most pronounced early in the season and provides a sharp contrast to darker planting around it. As the plant matures, the foliage softens slightly in tone while the overall shape remains tall and controlled. The slim habit makes it especially useful in tight spaces where height is needed without width, such as narrow borders or modern garden designs. Functional, architectural, and easy to integrate, GOLDEN TOWER offers structure and foliage colour without the bulk normally associated with elder shrubs.
