Washington Hawthorn vs Ranch ElderberryCrataegus phaenopyrum Sambucus canadensis Ranch ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW SOLD OUT
Washington Hawthorn is an attractive ornamental shrub that is dense enough to plant as a privacy screen. It produces clusters of white blooms in late spring to early summer.
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. WASHINGTON HAWTHORN QUICK FACTSRANCH ELDERBERRY QUICK FACTS
