'Wyldewood' is a new American Elderberry hybrid with high yields and superior fruit production from its immense flower heads that often reach up to 12" across. 'Wyldewood' needs to be cross-pollinated and we recommend 'Bob Gordon.' Elderberry is well known as an ingredient in wines and jams but now the medicinal world has reported the use of elderberry helps mitigate colds and flu virus because of its antiviral properties. It is also a great source of vitamin C and has been used for antibacterial properties as well.
