Wyldewood

Wyldewood is a productive American elderberry cultivar selected in Oklahoma and promoted through University of Missouri elderberry research programs. It is distinguished by its very large fruit cymes and its notably late ripening, which spreads the harvest and can help it avoid earlier-season pests. Wyldewood produces heavy yields of dark berries on big, well-filled clusters, making it a leading choice alongside Bob Gordon for commercial-scale elderberry production. The berries have good flavor and juice quality suited to syrup, wine, and juice. Adaptable and vigorous, Wyldewood performs well across the central United States and is frequently recommended together with Bob Gordon as a high-performing pair for productive elderberry plantings.
