High-yielding cultivar popular with market growers in Canada. Selected for high levels of sugar compared to other elders. Berries are on the small side.
Showing serious vigor in our trials. Z4. Maine Grown. (1–3' shrubs)
This species is native to North America. Hardier than the European Sambucus nigra, and fruits on first-year wood.
Considered self-fertile but multiple plants will improve fruit set—it’s okay to mix species.
Plant 4–6' apart. Best in rich soil but adaptable to a variety of soil types. In spring, while plant is still dormant, prune away any weak, broken or dead canes.
