- Oklahoma Gardenings Kim Rebek shows us how to plant an elderberry fruit plant. She discusses the proper placement for these plants and the importance of planting a couple of different cultivars for optimum fruiting.
The Black Lace is a sambucus nigra, a European cultivar which requires another European cultivar to pollinate.
Yes, that was my thought, too. Glad you let them know right away.
True, wont cross pollinatecwith the 4 kinds listed
Thanks so much for sharing this video!
Damn, she literally killed the tree and then buried it
Wow your elderberry looks different than ours
Mine is about 12' tall now. I read they can grow to be 16' tall. I am sure it depends on the variety.
I have read 20 feet by 20 feet.
@@monikasherwood9089 I think the ones native to the Pacific NW can get that big.
I am considering this tree mainly due to its ornamental characteristics/ beauty but am afraid of its growing size given my tight location. Is the "laced up" cultivar a compact size to consider? I will appreciate readers' advice. Thank you
So if I dig up wild plants this fall, should I clip of the large canes and just plant the roots?
no I wouldn't cut at all!!!
i don't understand why you have to chop the tree that looked to be 5 feet tall, down to a foot
daytonpyro If anyone is still curious as to why she chopped off the single trunk...the reason was because it was inhibiting the growth potential of the shrub. Trimming that lead will encourage rapid new growth and a better overall plant and production. Also, instead of the one lead that won’t really grow for the new season she’d end up with probably 5 to 10 stems that will be just as big if not bigger.
and to add, she can propagate the cuttings and have more bushes. Win win situation. Healthier plant and more to plant.
These elderberries grow to 10 feet tall in one growing season. Most people cut them back to the ground in late winter.
2:32 you do ya?...
This is Sambucus Nigra 'Black Lace' - European Elderberry, not the native American one. And will not pollinate Sambucus Canadensis
I watched a CZcams Chanel and it said to cut it down to the ground, which I did. I didn’t get any fruit! Are these edible? Are they different from the regular elderberries? I didn’t know anything about them other than they are good for you when I bought them. Disappointed that I did t get any flowers.
Only red elderberies are NOT edible
Will leaves from older trees work?
How well does it do in Florida?
Probably well, but check to see if it is native there. If it is you should have no problem. Just checked. It is. Plant away.
She said 6 to 8 feet wide, not tall.
You cut off the tree before you even planted it. I watched in horror. Don’t trim these beautiful plants like that unless you have 500 of them and your a farmer. The foliage on elderberry is gorgeous.
There's no need to cut the shoot!
This video will show you why to cuts the shoots .. czcams.com/video/kYYBlU4gbCA/video.html
Oh but there is! It would die eventually, so it’s better to cut it early.
They grow 6-8 feet? 6-8 feet my arse lol. I have a whole tree in my garden which is taller than my house, and they are also coming up through my privett hedge too. I'm looking for tips to get rid of it but all I can find is hundreds of people putting them in lol. Am I missing something?
You have been so blessed! I'd give anything to have access to elderberries around my home! Was raised in AR where they grow wild along the river. I sure miss this natural healthy snack! And the elderberry wines that the older people used to make. I'd sure love to have some seeds!
GardenDavesProjects great video thanks, nice to see you can prune it back hard! I guess you could use the part you prune off to take cuttings too?

Crazy lady.
Half the info is lie
Just the tippy tip tip of info, almost useless.
why not just pee around it for nitrogen?
That's what I do makes the berries taste better as well
Almost everything she says it’s a lie
