Scotia Elderberry Bareroot
2025/2026 Staff Favourite
Scotia Elderberries are Jenni's favourite this year! In Jenni's opinion āthis variety is sweeter and less astringent than others, and I love using it to make elderberry syrup for an immune system boost in the winter months.ā

Species: Sambucus canadensis
History:Ā Scotia was developed at the Kentville AAFC Research and Development Centre in Nova Scotia. It is a seedling of another variety, Adams 2, and was released by the research station in 1960, alongside the variety Nova. It is grown commercially in Canada.
Why We Grow It:Ā Scotia elderberries ripen early in the season and have the highest sugar content of any named cultivar- though also some of the smallest berries. They are great forĀ a variety of uses such as making juice and wine, baked goods, and even tinctures. Eating the raw elderberries can cause adverse reactions so it is recommended that you cook them first!
