Sambucus canadensis 'York'

Another great S. canadensis variety with somewhat larger, sweeter, purple berries. Slightly shorter in stature, it's a great choice for smaller or urban gardens. Cross pollinize with another S. canadensis variety, like Nova, for abundant fruit production.

Grow Height:  6' (Medium)

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: Late Summer

Pollination: Partially Self Fertile

York elderberry

It was in pretty bad shape. Put it in a substantial pot with a good mix of soil and compost and have yet to see any growth. This was 12 days ago. A couple branches broken so trimmed those and cuts indicated stems green. In protected sunny spot right next to the 2 Nova’s I plan to plant it with this fall. Roots seemed fine but shouldn’t I see some growth by now???

Love this! I am excited to cross-pollinate this with my other elderberry plant! The plant arrived with a few broken branches and dead leaves, but that is to be expected with long-distance shipping. The plant still seems healthy and was shipped carefully.

Too early to tell

Because of the weather here in upstate NY, I just put the plant in the ground a few days ago. It came without any buds so I will have to wait a while to evaluate it.
