Professor Meader named this Goodbarn because it was the good elderberry growing under the eaves of his barn in New Hampshire. Another of the many fine plants Elwyn’s son John has brought to our attention. Thanks, John!

Hardy, vigorous with apparent self-fertility. It blooms heavily and produces large crops annually. Dangling clusters of edible purple-black berries ripen in late summer on this broad vigorous multi-stemmed shrub.
