Russian Almond vs Ranch ElderberryPrunus tenella Sambucus canadensis Ranch SOLD OUT SOLD OUT
Russian Almond is a low maintenance, short, slightly suckering shrub. It is covered with attractive, bright pink flowers in early spring before its foliage emerges.
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. RUSSIAN ALMOND QUICK FACTSRANCH ELDERBERRY QUICK FACTS
