Black Elderberry Mix

New for 2024 - Sambucus canadensis - Black Elder is a beautiful bushy shrub valued for it's delicious and medicinal fruit. The large large white umbel flowers bloom in early July, followed by clusters of black fruit by the end of summer. Although you should avoid eating them raw, they make incredible jellies, syrups and brews. Wild Sambucus canadensis is native across eastern North America, however these seeds are a cultivated form. Harvested from a mix of several cultivars grown at Twisted Brook that were developed locally at the Kentville Research Station (Scotia, Kent and Nova). Seedling elderberries will be naturally more variable than plants grown from cuttings (which is how named varieties are propagated). The parent plants are between 5-8' tall, and similarly wide. 30-50 seeds
