Canada elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) - Zone 3

Sambucus canadensis - This native shrub with edible and medicinal fruits and flowers is highly prized in permaculture. Primarily a source of abundant food for humans and birds, it is also highly mellifluous for pollinating insects. As if that weren't enough, elderberry also excels as an ornamental plant, with its cut foliage, large white umbel flowers and hanging clusters of ripe fruit.  

Our Petite-Nation selections are hardy and productive in zone 4a.
