American Elderberry Plant 'Wyldewood' (Sambucus canadensis hybrid)

'Wyldewood' is a new American Elderberry plant 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 'Ranch.' That’s why we are also offering an American Elderberry Plant Set (product P9160-2X), which includes American Elderberry Plant 'Ranch' - an excellent elderberry with a short stature and it only grows 5-6’ tall so the berries are easily harvested. It’s also one of the most forgiving if you have non-fertile soil and it handles a zone 3 winter easily. 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.
