Wyldewood Elderberry plants are hardy and easy to grow full sun hardwood shrubs that easily reach 5 to 6 feet in height, with a deep root system that aid in preventing soil displacement or erosion. You’ll find this variety to offer superior fruit quality, blooming in the summer with up to 1’ across flowering heads.
​
The Wyldewood strain of elderberry was originally found in Oklahoma, and donated to the University of Missouri-Columbia for the “Elderberry Improvement Project”.  In the study it ranked second as a producer, offering the potential of up to 12,000 pounds per acre yield.  They are one of the earliest and longest flowering of the elderberry varieties within the University of Missouri study.  
​
Additionally, we suggest  Wyldewood be cross-pollinated.  At our farm we plant them in conjunction with the Bob Gordon variety. The heads of this variety grow with the heads up. However, no need to fret, as there growth potential is excellent.  Growth in the USDA Hardiness zone number of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10.
