Elderberry problem

6 years ago

Most of my new growth on my elderberry appears to be contorted. The top is significantly worse. Leaf tips are also blackened in some areas and other areas where there is no contorting, some newer leaves are turning white at the tips. Gave it iron/micro nutrients as well as miracle grow general liquid fertilizer about a week ago. Gets pretty much full sun after about 11 am. I live in Chicago. 2nd year I've had this one and it hasn't flowered yet like my other one either. Any help would be appreciated.
