Sambucus canadensis6-12' × same. University of Missouri/Missouri State University, by PL Byers and AL Thomas. Selected from wild bushes in 1995, introduced in 2010.
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)
