It has a tall, upright growing habit, is cold hardy, and doesn't need a long growing season to mature. Due to the short maturation period, in southern zones it is one of the earliest elderberry varieties to ripen. Adams produces abundant clusters of dark purple black berries that are sweet, richly flavored, and ideal for culinary and wellness preparations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1116\" data-start=\"500\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING INFO: \u003c\/strong\u003eBare root plants generally ship March-May.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1116\" data-start=\"500\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Our bare root elderberries are usually between 12-16 inches (both trunk and root system).
