'Bob Gordon' elderberry is a vigorous deciduous shrub prized for its ornamental beauty and abundant harvests. Clusters of fragrant white flowers bloom in spring and summer, followed by large crops of rich black-purple berries. Thriving in full sun and average, well-drained soil with regular watering, this easy-to-grow variety is both productive and attractive. For the best fruit production, plant alongside another elderberry variety to encourage cross-pollination and significantly increase berry yields.
