Potted Bob Gordon Elderberry Plant (6-12"+)(Sambucus canadensis 'Bob Gordon')
Bob Gordan Elderberry Plant
Sambucus canadensis "Bob Gordan"
Sweeter and bigger berries than other elderberries. Discovered in 1999 in Osceola, Missouri. Contain more than four times the antioxidant value of cherries. Strong, productive plants are easy to maintain and produce large, ¼” elderberries for pie, jam, wine and syrup. After plants go dormant in fall, mow them and then harvest fruit the next year on primocane stems. Some resistance to Japanese beetles. Bird damage is somewhat naturally mitigated by the hanging flower heads, but it’s wise to net the plants before fruit ripens in July. Best pollinator: any other elderberry variety.
