Sambucus nigra 'Haschberg' is a well-known and reliable elder variety prized for its heavy crops of large black berries and strong, vigorous growth. In early summer, it produces broad heads of creamy-white flowers, followed by abundant clusters of dark berries that ripen towards late summer and early autumn.

Commonly grown for elderflower cordials, syrups, and cooked elderberry products, 'Haschberg' is valued for its productivity and robustness. Easy to grow and fully hardy, it is suitable for garden borders, wildlife planting, and productive gardens, offering both ornamental appeal and reliable yields when grown in a sunny position.
