I got my cuttings started late, so I wasn't able to get them in the
ground in June & am just planting them now.  Too early to say much

The website to get those varieties is:

http://www.elderberrylife.com/the-nursery/

I see that he's gonna raise the price of cuttings at the end of the
month so you may want to order soon if you want some.
