Elderberry – Bob Gordon

Description

Introducing the Bob Gordon Elderberry, a unique cultivar discovered by Bob in 1999 in Osceola, Missouri. This standout variety is known for its exceptionally large and sweet berries, making it a favorite for fresh eating as well as jams, syrups, desserts, and medicinal uses. Many gardeners trust elderberry syrup as a natural anti-viral remedy, offering comfort during cold season with its great taste and soothing properties.

The Bob Gordon variety is primocane, meaning it can be mowed to the ground after dormancy for simple maintenance. The new growth will bear fruit the following year, with yields reaching up to 20 pounds per plant. This makes it an excellent choice for both home gardens and small-scale production.

For maximum fruiting, plant Bob Gordon with another American elderberry variety for cross-pollination—we offer compatible varieties to help you achieve the best results.

This vigorous elderberry thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 4-8, growing to a mature height of 6-8 feet. While it may take 3-5 years to see full production, the high yields, delicious flavor, and medicinal benefits make the Bob Gordon Elderberry a worthy investment for any garden.

Whether you’re looking to enjoy fresh berries or create your own natural remedies, the Bob Gordon Elderberry delivers abundant, versatile harvests year after year!
