Sambucus canadensis 'Nova'

Sambucus canadensis 'Nova' is a North American native elderberry bred for its reliable yield of medium sized, delicious, edible, black berries. White flowers bloom in clusters in spring followed by the berries in the fall. A very hardy, fast growing shrub to 6 feet tall. Partially self-fruiting but appreciates another variety close by to improve yield. More sun produces more berries. Use the fruit in jams, jellies, pies, wines, and syrup. Attracts hummingbirds and bees.

White flowers spring, almost black berries good for wine, pies and jelly. Plant with York for pollination. Zones 4-8
