Description
STRONGLY ANTIVIRAL MEDICINAL BERRIES! Compact, dwarf elderberry with large fruit harvests! This cultivar is the best choice for growing in extreme climates. The plants are short and easily harvested. The stems are strong and shorter in stature than other cultivars, growing to five to six feet tall. Clusters of fruits can be found in the middle of the stems to the top. The plants grow in most soil types and are the most tolerant to non-fertile soils and also moist soils.
It gets only approximately 5ft tall, so berries are easier to reach for harvesting. Elderberry shrubs prefer full sun, with higher yields in more sun. It’s best to irrigate them in summer the first year or two of establishment or in dry regions.
