Howdy Steve, Glad to know you are interested in some frozen elderberries. They are in 25 pound pails and go for 6.00 per pound plus shipping. When would you like them shipped.
I live in Boone, NC, at around 4300′ elevation. There are wild elderberries growing byt the roadside and on the ridge above me. I would like to grow a few bushes in my garden. What variety would you suggest for my location? We get a lot of snow and wind up here.
BTW, I was introduced to elderberries in New Zealand where my British friends made jam and wine from them. They are wonderful! I often laugh at our American ways…we overlook some real treasure when we treat elderberries as weeds!
I live in the Piedmont of NC near chapel hill. I will be traveling through Boone tomorrow on my way to a speaking engagement for Rural Action in Bristol TN/VA. Most of our varieties will do OK, some better than others. Adams, Ranch or Bob Gordon would be good choices as would Magnolia. It’s origin is NC.
