Blackcurrant vs Ranch ElderberryRibes nigrum Sambucus canadensis Ranch SOLD OUT SOLD OUT
Blackcurrant is a medium-sized shrub producing delicious, deep purple to black sweet berries suitable for jams, jellies, syrups and cordial.
Ranch Elderberry is a vigorous and high yielding Black Elderberry cultivar. It ripens earlier than other varieties, and is smaller and more compact making berry harvest easier. The berries are well suited for baked goods, jams, jellies, and syrups. They are high in vitamin C and reported to be beneficial for the immune system. Planting them near other varieties for cross pollination and in full sun will result in higher yields. BLACKCURRANT QUICK FACTSRANCH ELDERBERRY QUICK FACTS
