Warm Climate Elderberry Bundle

A mix of York and Ranch. These are two varieties that have done better in hotter, dryer conditions. York even will work in partial shade in very sunny California. We may sub Wyldewood if we run out of York.

Bring dependable elderberry production to hot, arid, or drought prone regions with our Warm Climate Elderberry Bundle, a curated selection of varieties that have consistently performed better in warmer, sunnier, and drier environments.

This bundle includes a combination of York and Ranch elderberries, two American elderberry cultivars known for their exceptional adaptability, heat tolerance, and reliable yields even under challenging summer conditions. If York sells out, we may substitute Wyldewood, an equally vigorous and heat resilient variety.

Designed specifically for growers in warm climates, southern states, or high sun exposure areas, this bundle ensures you receive varieties capable of thriving where others may struggle.

Why Choose the Warm Climate Elderberry Bundle?
• Heat and Drought Adapted: York and Ranch have shown superior performance in hot, dry conditions compared to many traditional varieties.
• Partial Shade Tolerant: York performs exceptionally well even in partial shade, making it a strong choice for very sunny climates like California.
• Resilient and Productive: These varieties maintain strong growth, dependable berry production, and reliable establishment in warm regions.
• Versatile Planting Options: Ideal for home gardeners, homesteads, food forests, and regenerative landscape plantings.

Medicinal and Nutritional Benefits
All varieties included in this bundle are nutrient rich American elderberries packed with anthocyanins, antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin A, and immune supportive flavonoids. Elderberries are traditionally valued for seasonal wellness, respiratory support, and their naturally high antioxidant content. With strong yields even in warm climates, this bundle provides a reliable harvest for homemade syrups, teas, tinctures, and culinary use.
