An excellent new commercial cultivar from Denmark, Samdal Elderberry bears large clusters of black fruits that are particularly high in anthocyanins. Plants send out many shoots from the base each year and bear fruit on second year wood. In order to maximize productivity you can prune out second year wood after the fruit is harvested. Sampo Elderberry makes a great pollenizer and Danish partner for Samdal.
