My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Sambucus Canadensis & Nigra Same?

22 years ago

I thought these were two separate species and that I would need to buy 2 of each for best fruiting. However, on a government site they list our native elderberry (U.S.) as "Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis."

Does this mean I could buy one canadensis and one nigra and have good fruit set? Thanks!
