Wyldewood has huge flower clusters, typically 2 inches wider than the clusters of any other cultivar. The creamy-white flowers are densely clustered in a cyme measuring a foot across. It is an indeterminant cultivar, which means it flowers all season, producing flowers and ripe fruit at the same time. It is a very heavy producer with some trials showing more productive than Adams. Berries ripen a couple of weeks after Bob Gordon, and produces for a month. Very vigorous and needs room to grow.
The fruit is a great source of vitamin C, making wonderful pie, juice, jelly and wine. Vigorous and hardy plants produce showy, fragrant white flowers in summer and colorful fall foliage. One of the easiest berries to grow. A vibrant bush in the garden that is a food source for pollinators and hummingbirds.
Sambucus canadensis, Wyldewood Elderberry is from University of Missouri/Missouri State University in 2010. Resents root disturbance. Cross pollinize with another S. canadensis variety, such as Bob Gordon, for abundant fruit production.
These are seedlings and cuttings from our elderberry bushes where we harvest and sell the certified organic flowers and berries. We have been growing certified organic Wyldewood elderberries for five years with very good results. Typically, bushes remain around 10 feet tall and wide; when densely planted, they will grow up to 12+ feet tall. This elderberry bush has very dependable fruit production due to late and continuous blooming. It's usually not bothered by insects or diseases and are quick to grow to maturity.
USDA Zone: 3 - 9 hardiness, prefers cooler climates
Grow Height: 10 - 12'
Sun: Full Sun, does well with some shade
Ripening Time: Late Summer
Pollination: Self-fertile, yields increase with a second variety, such as Bob Gordon
Years to Fruit: 2 to 3 years (seedlings to canes); fruiting on 2nd year seedlings or 3rd year canes in zones 3 and 4.
Soil Type: Tolerates a wide variety, best in soils rich in organic matter & well-draining
Moisture Requirements: needs consistently moist soil, not wet, for two growing seasons. Do not allow soil to dry out in the first growing season. Very drought-tolerant once properly established.
Best Time to Plant: Spring and Fall. Summer planting is possible but watering requirements are more demanding. Best time to plant in most climates is Fall, followed by early Spring.
Mulch: important for all seasons, mulch deeply immediately after planting to protect young roots and retain hydrated soils.

Benefits of a Garden
Versatile
Grow what you enjoy ~ herbs to flavor a recipe, vegetables to feed the body and flowers to nourish the soul. Whether you have a lot of outdoor space, an empty windowsill, or something in between, you can keep a garden. Even the tiniest slice of space can be transformed into a lush, thriving garden.
Rewarding
Growing food is a rewarding experience for the whole family; teaching where our food comes from, how it’s grown, and about responsibility (watering, weeding and harvesting). Plus, gardening is a great way to learn about different types of vegetables, nutrition, and how to use fresh produce in meals.
Learning
When you grow your own food, you open yourself and family to a world of learning opportunities; study plant life cycles, how different types of seeds grow, world of insects and how they work together, balancing and improving soil quality, composting, the growing seasons, and the list goes on.
Best
Homegrown food is tastier and saves money. It's kind to the environment, minimizes pesticide exposure and helps you stay clear of tainted food. Freshly picked is more nutrient-dense than store-bought vegetables. Harvesting straight from the garden also reduces plastic packaging and fossil fuels.
Plant Hardiness Zones
Seed collections are tailored for northern backyard, urban farms and homesteads throughout the Northern states from the Rocky Mountains through the Upper Midwest to the East Coast.
Although collections are designed for hardiness zones 3 and 4, these seeds will grow throughout the US, typically with a longer harvest window.
