A consistently high-yielding elderberry cultivar, popular in the Midwest. Some trials are showing it produces as much as Adams No. 1, if not more, and ripens a little bit later. Vigorous! Give it lots of room or whack it back. Z3. 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.
