You should really try elderberry-soup. It's a thing we used to do a lot here in Denmark during the cold months. It's basically juice mixed with water and thickened with maize/corn-flour just like you'd thicken a gravy. Serve immediately with dried (crumbled) bread (in Denmark the bread is called tvebakker...and the soup "hyldebærsuppe".... It's amazing.
Sounds good!
Oh my God!! YUMM!! xx
I had waisted fruits because I have been afraid if that is the plant, eventhough something in my heart told me to let it grow in the back of my backyard. This year after cutting it from one side to let my other plants some sunlight, I am determent to try the fruit.
Thank you. Great to learn the word. I love elderberry syrup. May we use something other than cornflour to thicken? My son is food sensitive. TY.
My Grandmother was a erbalist for the Cherokee Nation and gave Elderberry juice to her people. Where I was born they were everywhere.
I have a little piece of wilderness at the bottom of my garden. There was just one elderberry tree when I moved in. I cut everything around it. 2 years later theres another three in the back 1 one in the front garden. They are called the Goddess plant. I personally dont like to prune them at all. The flowers: I make elderflower cordial sometimes with rhubarb. It keeps my grand babies hayfever at bay. The berries need to be cooked always. Useful for all the things mentioned including if you suffer from low iron/anemia. I dry my berries and store them in the freezer. Steep them in a teapot in hot water and drink hot, or you can cool it add ice and honey with some crushed mint leaves for a lovely drink
We built a raised bed around our Elderberries and they are spreading out beautifully. We have had a huge crops of Elderberries this year.
Wonderful!
Yum, I’m jealous. Next year we’re planting 2 trees.
Is that keeping yours contained? Mine is so thug I had to cut it down. And now there is 100s of babies growing.
@@nickliovich they will send a shoot outside of the box but mostly they stay within. It is a large box, 1 foot tall and about 16 feet long to accommodate 4 elderberry bushes.
An ancient favorite in my homeland Hungary 🇭🇺 It has been a part of our culture for over a thousand years! Give a kid the choice between Coke or elderberry juice, they'll grab the elderberry 9 times out of 10! I recommend translating the Hungarian recipe and giving it a try. The Hungarian name for elderberry juice is "bodzaszörp". This will make a concentrate that you add 6 or 7X water (or soda water) to and has a shelf life of several years! BTW, it's the white flowers you use, not the berries. Enjoy!!
Thank you. We use the berries here. Different nutrients and benefits. I have heard the flowers are nice too.
Love your video. I am a Homesteader Myself , looking on how I can get into planting medicinal herbs , this was very helpful . Thank you. Many blessings to you and your family.🙏
Thank you. God bless you as well.
Awesome info. Thank you and blessings to you.
You’re welcome
A few months ago, I ordered some Elderberry cuttings from the River Hills Harvest in Missouri. They've been growing Elderberries there for over 30 years. I've been using their products for almost a year and am very impressed with their quality. There's so much nutrition in the Elderberry that sometimes it's been called Nature's Medicine Chest. It's interesting that people in America are finally learning about plants the Europeans have been using for centuries.
They are an amazing plant.
Awesome.
Thank you!
I think that is the farm I ordered from last spring also , the plants are doing very well.
Try elderberry syrup over a scoop of vanilla icecream! So yummy! Also great in plain or vanilla yogurt.
YUM
We don't eat refined sugar. Just honey or natural fruit juice, or syrup. Do you have to use something to thicken it? Organic cornstarch, or is there any other option?
Enjoyed the video and appreciated the information.
Thank you
Excellent tutorial!!! Thank you❤
You’re welcome
Thank you for sharing….. Great information! Going to start growing Elderberry Bushes !🤠
You're welcome.
Thanks so much my friend
You’re welcome
Thanks for all the info, mine has grown a ton its first year in, can't wait for it to fruit! ✌️♥️🌲🍄
You're welcome. They do grow very fast which is nice.
I’m going back and watching a lot of videos you posted before I found your channel. I appreciate you keeping most of them on the shorter side. Many times I don’t have the time to watch 30 minutes of other videos. I also appreciate the research you do before making videos on specific topics. I have a degree in agriculture and you better educated in many of these areas than I.
Thanks. I try my hardest to keep them concise.
Thank you
You’re welcome
I live in the city. I'm so impressed (and slightly jealous) of your beautiful farm. My dream for one day!
Thank you so much. Keep pushing forward for your goals.
Good video! Saw your post on FB group! Congrats on 100k subs!! That's awesome!! 👍👍
Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Makes good homemade Elderberry wine. Dandelion flowers are helpful with stomach problems and have a lot of nutritional value.
Dandelion is great. We did a video on medicinal plants.
Mmm elderberry wine sounds good 🍷 🍷 🍷
@@dominiquefelder1809 And its good for you.
I wish you would’ve shown some so we could see the inside I have a plant looks like this
I have pulled up the shoots and spotted them up and gave them to family. I have two kind that I bought from a nursery 3 or 4 years ago. I dehydrate my berries.
Very cool.
Here plants seem young, sambuccus nigra is a tree and will grow up to 4 meters.
This is important because there's a similar plant that is not edible and grow approximatively 1.5m without making "wood".
Flowers are such a delight for making ice cream, lemonade.
Late May/early June the white flowers blossom here in Bulgaria. I make several bottles of elderflower syrup to use as a drinks mixer. Not tried the berries but imagine they have a similar flavour to blackcurrants which we grow and make jam with.
My elderberry plants are 2 feet apart. I cut them way back every spring. They grow to 5 feet each year and are covered in berries. The ones that are partially shaded grow the largest berries and the biggest bunches. I stick the cuttings hap hazardly in the ground and most of them take root.
I throw on the winter duck straw from the coop each spring, that's it.
Awesome!
just sub-ed can't wait to catch up
Welcome to the channel
I think that must be your favorite hat because it's compost too! Thank you for the great information on elderberry
You're welcome. That hat has been retired.
But, you never mentioned Elderberry wine....it is the bomb! We make 6 to 10 gallons every year with the common canadensis variety (ditch weed). I give it away to friends, especially during flu season, and they demand more, after it is all gone. The taste is earthy fruit, as if Mother Nature sucked minerals directly from the dirt to the fruit. We are trying Bob Gordon and Johns varieties this year for larger berries. Does anyone have an experienced review on these? Thanks for the primer video!
Since I was six I have been eating elderberries raw about and now they grow outside my work. Have about 30 daily. Of course pick the seeds out tho.
Is that safe? I thought you had to cook them for them to be safe to eat??
@@sexyjoey9312 I had built up immunity
Thank you for your video, I just ordered some from River Hills Harvest.
I live in the Central Texas DFW area.
What I wanted to know is when to plant my elderly berry cutting and do they need acid soil?
You're welcome. Ours do well in slightly acidic soil. They need a more neutral soil generally.
BTW, you didn't say anything about the elderflowers. I make jelly and a cordial. They are delicious😊
Are you familiar with (Polk Salad ) I understand it kept South alive during the Civil War.... Also (poisonous. ) I understand we just have to know how to prepare it to (consume safely.) ....But (does it have medicinal purposes?).... so thankful I stumbled on your Channel, hope I don't lose you very interesting very helpful❤❤❤❤ very appreciated.
Glad you are here.
I have heard of Poke salad from a friend who grew up in this area. I have not seen any on my property as of yet. I have not personally interacted with it so I can't say much about it.
I had a nice Elderberry tree but it only lived three years and never came back. I wish I had another. Strangely I didn't plant the tree we had.
Too bad you lost it. Disease? I can't keep mine under control. They are spreading rapidly.
I used to just cut the stems off and cook stems and all for jelly.
Interesting. The stems didn't make it taste funny?
@@CountryLivingExperience no
Any thoughts on what causes the tips of elderberry leaves to turn brittle and brown?
Zone 8b growing in a big terracotta pot on an apt balcony.
Hard to tell. Maybe insufficient watering or too much fertilizer.
Planted a couple of the Elderberries this year. Looking toward to the first harvest. I live I. Texas also North East Tx. Where about are you if I'm not being to forward. Thanks. Enjoy your videos been subscribed for awhile.
Glad you got yours planted. They should do really well in our environment. We are South of Tyler.
@@CountryLivingExperience we are about 15 minutes north of Longview. Glad to know there are others like minded close.
Awesome
I am in Henderson. Hello to fellow East Texans !
I have elder berry but the berry's are tiny it was a volunteer
They are tiny.
How did the shoots grow of the mole cage? It looks the the spacing of the cage holes are pretty small…
The cage has not hampered the growth of the plant.
I was watching a special on Doug and Stacy off grid and and they were talking about elderberries and apparently there's a European elderberry that does carry the cyanide gene American elderberry That does not carry it just some information I found out
I appreciate the information. Thank you.
Great speaker and information. However, if I watch the clips with a handheld I start to get nauseous.
What should the growing area be like?
They like a well draining neutral soil.
American elderberry have alot less cyanide , don't have to boil for a long time. The one your recommending is European. Get the American, it's from here and is better
I was coming here to say this also. I was also told the native one to north America was better to grow...
Where can I order the them dried or order the actual tree?
Such good information!!!! How well does this do in pots? We're getting ready to travel for 3 to 4 years and I would love to take this with us. (in the RV while driving and place outside when we stop)
I’ve never tried it in pots so I cannot say for sure. They do get very big.
@@CountryLivingExperience ok... I'll try to get it started and hope to plant it when we land😁😁😁😁
They work well in pots but they need to have enough room. After a year or 2 they will need to be planted in the ground or you can do what we do. We do a heavy trim and then propagate the larger cuttings and make more,
@@LeafyLovey thanks so much for sharing 😁😁🙏🙏
Most AFFORDABLE ORGANIC DRIED ELDERBERRIES I found are from Konexcel / Pristine Nutri available on Amazon.
They come in 2 pounds bag. The price per pound is at least 30% below compared to all other brands. Elderberries have long shelf as they are dried so buying 2 pounds and saving money makes more sense.
Thanks for the great simple recipe.
Thank you Ron for the info.
Everyone says how easy these are to grow but I've not had any luck. Planted canes and bare roots, 30 total combined, and after 2 years, only TWO are showing promise. They have grown to about 15 inches, but never get any taller and both die back every winter. Any suggestions? I top dress with compost and use 10 10 10 annually. Planted in 2021. Any tips are appreciated!
Not sure I have any tips. I just put two in the ground and I have to trim them back because they have almost become invasive.
Where do you buy elderberry plants
We bought them at a local nursery.
I’ve looked for cuttings so I can grow elderberry. Do you have a source where to get elderberry plants/cutting???
I bought mine at a nursery. Try Etsy for cuttings.
I have wanted elderberries for a few years, but just couldn't justify the costs when so many trees and plants we have bought died in our awful soil. Well, God saw fit to give me 30 bushes this year via birds. Lol. Evidently birds ate the wild ones we have growing along the highway and pooped out the seeds under our oak tree, because we had all these plants sprouting up this year. I told my hubby to leave them alone so we could see what they were (I love volunteer plants). When they grew and flowered I did a search and they are indeed elderberry. 30 of them so far. I'm gonna leave alone and let them continue to grow and multiply. We have a LARGE extended family so having a ton of elderberries for syrup will be wonderful. They are also in an area where we don't have anything but a swing and they provide more shade for my chickens in this horrible hot weather.
Another good place to get your cuttings is from River Hills Harvest in Missouri. Also dried elderberries, elderberry syrup, elderberry jam and more. The owner, Terry Durham, is the biggest elderberry grower in the States, possibly even the world.
How deep do you put mole cage in ground ???
About 24"
It is good for hidradenitis supurativa?
No, I do not believe so.
Per head of fruit does anyone know how many servings when boiled with water
Not sure about per head, but I make elderberry syrup with 1c water to 1oz dried (~1/4c fresh) berries
I have a question when you said get two plants do they have to be the same kind
They do not have to be the same type but if you are making a syrup or eating them, they need to be from the Sambucas family for the best health benefits.
It's actually fine to eat apple seeds as long as you don't eat an entire cup full And God said eat the plants and the seeds thereof
It is fine to eat a few apple seeds, I don’t disagree. However, not all plants are appropriate for consumption after the fall and sun entered into the world. You don’t ingest marijuana for this reason.
How many types of elderberry are there we have three in our area purple red and yellow are they all good they grow wild
I am unfamiliar with the wild elderberries. We have cultivated elderberries that are of the Sambucus nigra strains.
I want to grow berry bushes of all kinds, I watched your video, just some questions “Can I eat them straight off the bush?” & if so, how much can you consume?
Elderberry cannot be eaten strait from the bush. It must be processed.
@@CountryLivingExperience thank you 😊
@@madeleinemazie6645 You're welcome
What zone they growing?
8b in Texas
American elderberry does not contain cyanide. Can be eaten raw. Though most people don't because it's not sweet.
Please please please, give me that study, not youtube video, but study, real study by university or something else.
what part of Texas?
East Texas
What's with your cap's visor? Has your cat been chewing on it.? I was so distracted by it I missed half of what you were saying😲 I grow elderberries and am interested in learning more.
Krista
I work hard and wear the hat. It is well worn.
I have a new Texan friend who can show me how…thanks!
You're welcome.
Hello I purchased a cold pressed elderberry juice from the store counter. Within 15 MIN OF drinking it I got bad diarrhea. An hour later I started vomiting. I went to the e.r thinking I got an infection never once might of thought it was the elderberry cold pressed. The doctors did blood work and CT scan and found nothing. How long will these effects last?
You probably drank too much. It can cause diarrhea it to much is ingested. You should only take 1tbls at a time.
I always thought these plants was the never wake up berries
So, you should probably not have too much jam or cordial at one time?
Correct
Where can I purchase a Elderberry bush?
I bought mine at a local nursery
Do deer eat the heck out of elderberry’s?
I have so much deer around my place that it’s nearly impossible to grow anything unless inside a 6’ tall fence.
Anything under 6’ they’ll jump over easily and destroy.
I harvest roughly 9-12 deer per season and still don’t make a dent.
I’m in North Georgia Appalachia and yes we can can harvest 10 does and two bucks per season and even more if you go on a WMA bonus hunt or on lottery hunts.
Not that I know of. They don't bother mine. We have a decent amount of deer but not as many as y'all.
I think cooking should take care of most of the cyanide. If you freeze them first, you'll have even better results.
I'll check that out.
(Thank you) so much your video was very interesting... (good to know it contains cyanide....) I'm so thankful that finally I found someone from (the south) ,that helps us identify Edibles and medicinal plants (in the south.).... Most of these videos come from up North and we've never seen most of the plants that they show.😢
You're welcome and glad we could help.
in pennsylvania we kill elder berry we have clomps of them
Do you sell the raw berries?
Not yet. I may sell some syrup or cuttings in the future.
Can I order elderberry from you?
We don’t sell anything like that currently. Sorry
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."
Randomly looking up info on elderberry led me to this comment 😂 was this quote from month python?? lol!!!
They prefer wetlands from what I’ve observed.
Not in our area. They do well in our dry summers and in well drained sandy soil.
Are the elderberry plants; leaves stems, berries, etc.poisonous to dogs or cats? We have 2 sometimes 3 dogs on our property, and one cat. I would like to have a couple elderberry bushes but don't want to risk, getting our pets, or their "cousins" (our son's dog) sick.
If it is, the animals would not eat it. Their instinct is for self preservation and they won't eat things that may kill them.
only the seeds are
scientific sources for all this medical advice? .... I was gifted some elderberry seedlings going to put them in the ground soon. Planting is fun, but unless at a farm scale, it's very heard to make a net energy or resource gain from small plantings. It's a good skill to have though.
My brother has a shotgun he calls the MBG.. or mole Be Gone..
That'll work.
People give away hats. You should get a new one.
Send me one
I'm guessing you didn't like my suggestion. Was it due to arrogance? I'll still be around for support.
Excuse me? What suggestion? Who is arrogant?
Sent the suggestion in your FB page.
It was information you provided because I was unfamiliar with what you were talking about. I thanked you for the information.
How dare you call me arrogant for not responding exactly how you wanted me to. You do not know me. Typing a few words on a screen, not getting your desired response, and then leveling an accusation against someone is not the proper way to communicate with people.
@@CountryLivingExperience I'm sorry man, I didn't call you arrogant. What I meant was, I can understand if you didn't like the info I sent as you may find the person arrogant.
Ah, I understand. No problem. It is very hard to understand the written word unless it is a long detailed explanation.
I have watched Justin Rhodes before and have seen videos from others who have volunteered for him. Yes, I do think his personality is not the greatest. That would not be my reason to dismiss his program.
I watched the video but just do not have time to do anything extra for my channel at this time. I am swamped with family and other obligations. I am about to hit 100k next week hopefully and that is just a big blessing. I am happy to have what I have.
Cheers.
Mine are 6' apart...They SHOULD be pruned! However, pruning WILL bring up shoots! its best to just tip them to shape not cut back too early

Goodbye and good riddance.
TRACH THE STUPID HAT
Nice spelling.
Elderberry wine that's the best part of them
We rely on a local source. We believe it works! We are never without a($20) pint or two in the fridge. 1Tblsp. maint dose. 2 if you're struggling with the crud.
Nice! Works well for the crud for sure.
