Adams Elderberry Plants & Cuttings

Description

Our Adams Elderberry plants combine carefree beauty with exceptional productivity. These very vigorous plants feature glossy green foliage and develop stunning large white flower heads in May—perfect for fritters, tea, or wine if harvested early, or left to develop into generous fruit clusters.

What makes Adams special: Exceptional fruit quality with high vitamin C content, consistently better than wild elderberries. Large fruit clusters ripen in August. Glossy green foliage adds ornamental appeal. Adaptable to various light conditions from shade to full sun.

Important Safety Note: Elderberries must be cooked before consumption. Consuming fresh elderberries can be toxic. Please ensure all berries are properly prepared before use.
