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.

source for Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis ‘Maxima’?

6 years ago

Anyone know of a US source for Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis ‘Maxima’?

Featured Answer
  • 6 years ago

    American elderberry, Sambucus canandensis, is no longer considered a separate species but only a subspecies of S. nigra. 'Maxima' is noted for having exceptionally large flowerheads.

    At one time it was carried by Forest Farm Nursery in Oregon but that seems to no longer be the case. In fact, it does not appear to be in commercial production currently in the US.
