Sambucus canadensis - Isabella

Isabella is a chance seedling that grew up at the nursery. It produces large clusters of fruit, is highly productive, and ripens a little earlier than other varieties of Sambucus canadensis. Enjoy the harvest, but remember that this variety is not self-fertile—you'll need to plant a different variety nearby for proper pollination.
