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!
I watched the entire video for your thoughts on how to grow "lots" of elderberries but you never got around to propagation. Your idea is to 'look' for it on your property. Clipping off the main plant at the right time of growing year and sticking it in dirt. That's the answer. It is EASY to root. elderberry. Wow...
I have several propagation videos on elderberry. Most people don't cut their current plants back, but they should every few years to encourage new growth. Yes propagation is great, but most of us only have so much space , so eventually you want to maintain and encourage your current plants to thrive. Hope this helps.
you will have better growth if you use a lot of aged wood chips to hold moisture. they need full sun AND lots of water which is why people plant them around water. aged arborist wood chips are great at adding humus to the soil and holding moisture and nutrients. the effects of mowing it down is common to many plants. it actually encourages them to reproduce and spread. you can propagate them by cuttings as well. very easy plant.
Personally I was gifted 2 blackberry plants last year that I planted in ground, also I was graced by a bird with a polar berry plant and I hope to prune these right for maximum harvest. I also have 3 different elderberry, 4 mulberry, a fig, 2 blueberry, and 3 grape. I hope to get a decent harvest if not this year at least next.
I found one baby fig on a new Brown Turkey tree I made from a cutting in winter but the bushy parent tree still has no figs after two years. I planted 4 Celeste this year too and 4 dwarf mulberry.
@@jenicrane3866 last year I did both methods however I preferred soil. I litteraly cut the elderberry and pushed the branches in the soild around the yard and they have been growing
I just bought 2 elderberry bushes that are 3 years old. They are being planted today I guess about 5-6 ft apart along our fence line. I currently live on 12 acres so looking forward to see them start blooming! We are currently in Texas.
I just added an elderberry last year, and ordered 2 more this year! I had to protect mine though because the deer around here like to munch on it when it is young.
Our property is covered with it. We have a few old ones that are probably 15' or more. I've started moving them to areas that are easier to harvest and rooting cuttings.
I got a couple cuttings last fall through the local garden share in our town. This first year they are growing and one has a small flower on it. I also got some black currant from the same person and they seem to also have taken root. Looking forward to being able to harvest in the next couple years. We also have evergreen huckleberry which are native in our region. I think we may have them in a little to much shade (even though they like some)as they are growing very little each year. We are in town so I have less space, but am trying to fill it with edible perennials and medicinal plants.
I have our elderberry, which was given to me as a cutting last Summer, growing in a container tub next to a black walnut stump. Thanks for the encouragement to cut it back. I wasn't sure. I have flowers about to bud so I will dry them and make a few things. Thanks again.
This is my wife's tablet. Just heard you talking about Elderberry s. We live in western Kentucky. I have been propagating wild one to our old garden, fertilizing the ones that are over 15 Dr's tall. Dehydrating and cleaning. Then pressure canning them dry. I would like to know how and were to sale them? I always watch when they are flowering from off of the back roads,ect. I could go spend a half a day and come back with a hundred lab's of rope ones on the umbrella. Just wish I had a good, fair market for them! Jr& Darlene Knight, Princeton Ky, have a good one hoss.
❤ gratitude for the lesson i have my first tree someone gave to me she's beautiful now as 1 year older. I ask you should i pruning now our wait one more year? I being look how i should take care of her. Love care .
The lawnmower is effectively Coppicing the tree. The root grows and goes deeper and the top part doesn't take as much effort to grow. Too much top growth can be taxing on the root system, so it's generally best to err on the side of more root structure and less leaves. Furthermore, the larger root system will get you a thick trunk and thick branches faster than a root system that is more natural. So if you do elderberry by seed, it will take you 5 years to get a 5 year's thickness type of truck. IF you coppice (or mow) the tree, you will get what looks like 5th or 6th year growth in maybe 3 to 4 years depending on many other variables. It's also a good way to make more firewood faster than nature will do from seed.
Like with hazelnut trees/bushes, you can also add mulch to the coppiced bush, called stooling, and get more rooted stems. Rooting from cuttings is another easy way.
My older sister and I planted a male and female elderberry plants side by side maybe two years ago but they never bare fruits.. this year will be the third year.. any tips to get fruits?
Elderberry suckers like crazy. Just dig up some suckers and you can multiply them like crazy in only a couple of years. And you seriously need to plant a lot more big trees, like mulberry or black locust, on the slope or your soil will remain very poor and even deteriorate over time. I don't think elderberry has very deep roots. You need real trees for erosion control.
Wherever I build a road on my rather steep California mountain, I get massive growth of elderberries. I must have 200 plants in a 1/2 mile and now the size of garden sheds. I can pick the berries or flowers from the truck window! So many, you dont need to go to the other side - in some places its very steep and you cant get to the other side. HOT dry summers, I don't understand how they survive.
Once you find them, they are so easy to identify! Every year I find more and more patches! Should have a nice little harvest this year! Mine are just starting to flower, so I’m guessing where you are at, give them another 3 weeks or so to flower. If you don’t find any, next feb I will send you some elderberry starts!
Thank you so much for this video! I was gifted an elderberry plant this past Spring. It was very young but has grown about 6ft wide and about 5 feet high thus far. Its getting very bushy. I am growing these for the berries. Should I cut it back a bit before it gets out of control?
Not a native where I am, wrong hemisphere, but grows well. I have a couple of plants that must be around 9 feet tall, I really have to remember to cut them back soon. Do you have trouble with birds taking your fruit? As soon as the first of the berries start to ripen we get birds that come to take them, but they break the whole flower head off in doing so, which means I rarely get any berries. I'm thinking this coming year I will have to prune them down to height that I can get a net over to keep them out.
I had great success with wrapping a simple hairnet over each fruit umbrella. Keeps them bug free as well as catches berries that fall when overripe. If you want to dry them you can just clip the stem and hang them upside down with the hairnet in the sun.
you should start most varieties of elderberry cuttings/starts in pots in a greenhouse or a similar environment and then transplant to a mounded or mulched bed
That back pasture would be quickly cleaned up by a few goats! They'll target all of the weeds the horses won't pick up, but that'd include the elderberry.. hahaha
just have your neighbor have one, I have so much in my backyard that it’s a problem, I wouldn’t consider it lucky with all the free money laying around since it has become a weed for me, I do admit they look nice though, I got a few and planted them.
hi...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?
I'm also in North Carolina (piedmont area) and here we have the heavy red clay. I just planted some Elderberry starts and am worried that the soil is going to be too heavy for the roots as they grow. Internet articles are contradictory. Some say they grow well in clay, some say that's a myth. I have amended the soil around the starts with organic matter. I wonder what your thoughts are and what you would do in my situation?
they enjoy being in higher elevation and well drained soil. consider planting cuttings on slightly sloped ground or mounded row with lots of mulch. mow down every year when winter comes around.
The best way is to make cuttings of established plants when they are dormant, then grow inside for a few weeks in water to get roots established. Best time is end of feb to March.
you will have better success planting the cuttings (cut 6 inches above and beneath a node and with the leaves kept on the cutting) in soil with the node slightly above the soil surface. do this during vegetative stage (may/june) and place in dimly sunlit environment.
I have found elderberry to be so invasive. Ive tried removing them from my garden and they just keep coming back. I moved them to an area I'd rather have them grow and they have already spread like crazy! Anyone else find this? I love having it but it's just taking over.
I took some clippings from elderberry bush, didnt know what I was doing & put in water, it has roots & a green shoot off it now. I live in Ozark, Mo. I know now I should gave waited about getting them started mow I dont have a green house. What should l do now? Are they going to die over winter? I need your idea on how to keep my plants happy & alive over winter
You could keep inside over winter or just plant now with heavy mulch and cover with straw and they might make it. I do my cuttings in late feb, grow inside for a month and then transplant outside.
put them in soil and partial sunlight inside for now. a garage or mudroom might work if it doesnt get too cold in there (50 or below) and if you could get some amount of sunlight on them every day. plant in mulched beds in feb or march
Great video, thanks. I live in zone 9 (Las Vegas) I have 2 Elderberry plants in containers. They have reached about 8 feet in their 2nd season. This year they produced a lot of flowers but with our winds lately a lot have fallen off and haven't seen any berries. Any suggestions?
@@joshalynnwardfulhow much water? I have a low lying area on my property which I cannot plant a vegetable garden. Would this be appropriate? It’s soggy after rains but does dry out. Tus
I live in a zone 9b also in Vista, California. In southern California, San Diego county. I believe I have an elderberry growing in my yard. It recently (2 years ago I first noticed it) popped up near an avocado tree. It is beginning of June and it has clusters of tiny pale blue berries now, which came from clusters of green-yellow-ish tiny flowers. The bush is probably 12' tall now. The leaves and branches look very similar to what he is growing in Carolina. I have been taking pictures of it hoping to identify it, either with a game warden or Agriculture office. I see lots of these growing on Camp Pendleton as small trees. So, I am not sure if this is an elderberry or not, but it sure looks the same.
