Enhance your garden with 12 fresh unrooted cuttings of American Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) from the Adams and York varieties. These native North American shrubs are prized for their fast, bushy growth and large, antioxidant-rich berries when cooked. Ideal for creating natural hedges, edible borders, or wildlife habitats, these cuttings attract birds, bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects.

American Elderberry thrives in full to partial sun and tolerates wet or clay soils, making it suitable for a variety of garden types. It is a hardy perennial shrub, cold-hardy in USDA zones 3–9, that returns yearly and spreads naturally in the landscape. Plant these cuttings directly into moist soil; they root readily without the need for hormones or special tools.
