Elderberries have been one of my favorite plants to grow in my backyard food forest. They are so easy to propagate I end up giving so many cuttings away! Thanks for sharing your method!
Wow, I grew up on Catalina island CA, I always made elderberry wine, and I've noticed that the elderberrys I harvest wild are always covered in a white whaterphobic powder, very dense clusters. I've never seen any white elderberries farther east, has anyone else? I'm moving to Texas and am considering bringing elderberrys from my home island with me, they make the greatest wine, when I drink it it tastes of home, brings tears to the eye.
I have an elderberry plant that sprouted up wild on it's own next to an avocado tree. San Diego, California. Probably the same kind on Catalina Island. It has blue berries. I have been tasting them and they do not taste good raw. Making them into wine gives me hope that these berries are good for something!

Help, live in north central washington state, shrub step habitat, our elderberry's juice is green, what is going on? Will the juice turn red after frost?
can you mix elderberries varieties will they cross pollinate or no. I have American elderberry and want to plant black lace? will they cross pollinate for more berries?
Black Lace is an European variety. American and European varieties can cross pollinate if flowering at the same time but generally they don't flower at the same time.
@@chrisstedman4039 Thanks I ended buy two Canadian or American elderberries. I wanted to keep that area skewed towards native shrubs and it works better for pollination so the birds get an abundance of berries
can I cross pollinate american elderberry with another variety? or does it need to be another American elderberry. I am simply planting another elderberry for more berries. What would you suggest for a second elderberry variety?
Newer cultivars are Lemony Lace and Black Lace, also a dwarf Laced Up with pink flowers. The northeastern specie has chartreuse leaves (perhaps yours?). I have two Lemony Lace I bought in 2020 from family-owned Bluestone Perennials in Ohio - their plants are guaranteed, small but very healthy and take off the third year. In my perennial part-shade garden, Lemony Lace will look like Japanese Maples. A full grown Black Lace is a glory - I plant to purchase one for a sunnier spot. If they get too bushy in a flower bed, they can be pruned back strongly. Hope this is helpful.
I live in Abilene Texas and have the Ranch variety and it is doing very well as it is more drought tolerant than the other varieties. I do have a drip hose that I water with and also protect from the afternoon sun.
Does America elderberry have the same medicinal benefits as European elderberry I haven't found a ton of info on it some people seem to use it the same way and some sites just mention that it's used as a laxative so if anyone knows please enlighten me
They can grow in the wild. You never eat raw elderberry. They are poisonous if eaten raw(they have some cyanide in them), but if you process them, then you can use it in syrups and whatever else. I’m still researching how to properly process the berries because I wouldn’t mind growing my own.
You don't really understand what "genetically modified" means, do you? Literally any form of selective breeding is genetic modification. Ergo, if your parents planned you, YOU are genetically modified.

I live in California, and was searching for this comment! Mine have the white whaterphobic powder. Did you bring any 😊
It is probably the native Mexican elderberry, ssp. caerulea.

In England a delectable Elderflower cordial is made from flowers,mostly by people in their homes.No american site mentions this.
That sounds amazing...
Great video

Also the Midwest elderberry cooperative has frozen berries they
ship
I've Ben drinking raw elderberry shrub for years. No health problems due to retrieve elderberry juice

How many varieties of Elderberry do you grow? I'm looking to make syrup and maybe wine. Which variety would be best for this?
Do you have the drawf variety? Is it for sale?
Interesting.
Can I buy a few from you that are able to grow in the Houston area?
i planted john and adams, now i want to propagate, but cant identify. Is there a way i can specify the difference?
How far apart do you plant your plants?

Will Elderberry survive the Desert heat in SW Arizona?? Judi

@@Hannah-ds6fx Blue and black are fine eaten raw… red ones need proccessed
I live in Mississippi and elderberry are every were along the the road side , edge roads they grow every wear and any wear
I hear some "experts" say you can eat the berries fresh and others say not to. Why can't you eat them fresh
You can just eat in moderation a lot of fults information out there
How about Pocahontas elderberry
I'm looking to purchase elderberry starters if you have any please send messages thanks
Nice thumbnail.
I pray to God this does not get genetically modified.
They're already genetically modified. He literally showed us different varieties of the same plant in the video. That means genetic modification.
