Description

Elderberry | Sambucus canadensis

This native shrub grows to be about 8-10 feet and boasts creamy-white flowers in mid-summer, giving way to loose clusters of delicious black fruits. Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Elderberries are popular for their unusual taste in pies, jellies, and jams. They are occasionally used in winemaking.

Planting Depth: 1 Inches
Bulbs per Square Foot: 1
Plant Height: 96-120 In

Harvest elderberry fruit in late August through early September, depending on the cultivar. When ripe, the entire cluster should be removed and the berries stripped from the cluster for use. Uncooked berries have a dark purple juice and are astringent and inedible.
