Elderberry Bush

Description

This is the native North American elder – Sambucus canadensis.

Not picky – sun or part sun. Very adaptable to different soil types. They can get about 12 feet high. Deer will sometimes browse them, but usually not too much. A fully-berried elder is such a festive entity!

Elder floweers, leaves, and berries are all used very effectively in herbalism. Each year we make tinctures as well as salves using the various parts of this wonderfully medicinal plant.

Having more than 1 plant leads to better pollination and having more than 1 variety, is even better. I am working on propagating several different varieties for the upcoming seasons…

All of our plants and seedlings are grown organically and are timed size-wise and transplanted for optional growth and production.
