Haschberg
S tier
Haschberg is the leading European commercial Sambucus nigra cultivar for juice and processing—high yield, dark berries, and pigment levels that suit Austrian and wider EU elderberry industries. Flavour is classic cooked European elder. Orchard-style plantings replaced purely wild collection for industrial volumes. Factory juice, concentrate, and colourant streams dominate. Home users cook into syrup with sugar and acid balance. Mechanical harvest suitability mattered in breeding goals. Distinguishes European product specs from American canadensis types.
