Does anyone know which elderberries from the list below are good for wine making?
Elderberries
In addition to a few ornamental cultivars, we are offering a selection of European and
American elder cultivars which have been selected for their good fruiting ability and fruit size
and quality. If flowers are the crop, then they (of course) produce extra large crops of flowers
too. European elders come from Denmark, Norway, Eastern Europe and England and are
grown commercially in several countries. Plants are supplied as bare-rooted, 20-50 cm plants,
price £8.00 each.
