Is there a follow up to this video?

Sherie makes me think that I need to "go big, or go home!" She started with 350 Bob Gordons, now has 2800 bushes, and is a woman with a plan. I just received 48 Bob Gordan Elderberry starts and realize that I should've made the order 10X. Sherie is an inspiration to the elderberry craft! So, the Pocahontas cultivar is mentioned here. Why is it "the newest and greatest"?

What plants do you recommend are the best for planting in Hollister, MO? I only want a few trees.

LOVED your video, as always! Thank you! Do you (or anyone else reading this) happen to know if planting multiple blueberry bushes of the SAME "self-pollinating" variety still gives the benefits of "cross" pollination? I need a consistent line of shrubs per the HOA (not a mix of varieties). I'd love to do a line of blueberries, but hate to miss the extra production that comes with cross pollination. TIA for any info!

Good information, thanks

For any other home gardeners wondering what IPM is, it stands for Integrated Pest Management.

Blue bag is 4 gal.

Do you net the bushes? How do you deal with birds picking berries?

This video was incredible!

Great job 👏

Great info! Thx...

Where can I get a t shirt like her pink one?

Excellent explanations.

Thanks Patrick for sharing your knowledge. I’ve decided to create a small hedge/screen on the edge of my property. I’ve purchased two Yorks and one Nova elderberry bushes as I live in New England. Can you recommend a spacing to crest a nice hedge/screen? Thank you!!

Why would you wash it off with soap?

Good video learned exactly what I was wanting to learn

Hello friends how are you I hope you heppy and heldi, I needed blue berry plants

The Haidegg serie is excellent; each bundle of berries al;most 1kg. Haideg 25 contains more sugar than grapes; ideal for wine, marmelade, brandy, lemonade. The haidegg serie is devellopped in Austria; in Germany England, Austria Elder bushes are used many times; in other european countries: less. There is also a mountain elder, with red berries. One elder is pure toxic; the berries, blossom, braches, roots, leaves: all is toxic. Grows one meter high; berries on top, facing the sky. Berries, leaves were used in medieval period as colouring materials. In winter it disappears totally; it does not form any wood.

Wow those are huge. Mine are 25 years old and about 10ft tall. Any taller and I won't be able to reach

This was incredibly informative!!! Thank you sir!!!

wow❤

I live in Cape Fair. I bought Wyldewood and Bob Gordon, but they didn't do that well in my honest opinion. I eventually just collected cuttings from local trees. I have a variety that produces massive clusters the size of dinner plates, and 2 other varieties that produce nearly as well. I'm also experimenting with a much shorter plant that grew wild in my yard. It only got to about 3 feet after a full year of growth. It also produces much smaller clusters, and the berries are rather tiny as well.

This is a great video. I love the setup for boiling down the sap. I'm getting ready to make my first syrup from a friend's sap, and I think he may get something like this made for his small operation! BUT - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE always wash new jars! It's too risky not too and it only takes a few minutes to do so. Remember this is FOOD your are bottling. No such thing as too many precautions against contamination.

I am planting mail order elderberries (Adams 2, Bob Gordon, Pocahontas, Ranch, Wyldewood) in southern California just north of San Diego. Sunset garden zone 23. USDA Hardiness zone 9. But now I read these are not recommended for this climate zone and probably will not survive long term due to a lack of icy cold winters needed for good dormancy. I have a 3 year old wild elderberry that is thriving next to an irrigated avocado tree, I think it is a Blue Mexican (S. Mexicana). I am not sure how it started growing here, whether from a bird poop or from cuttings brought in as mulch/wood chips. But it is thriving and produces berries. I am wondering if the mail order cultivars would survive long term year to year if they were grafted onto the S. Mexicana rootstock? Is anyone aware of this being done?

Thank you!

Don't put your dipping bucket on the ground and then back in the sap tote. Not mention your dirty hands were on the bottom of the bucket as well. Could save yourself a lot of filtering.

what time of year was this done?

My god this was brutal to watch. So many wrongs in this vid.

Henry and Linda, brilliant video. I would like to know how much syurp you got from this batch of sap.? Also would it be acceptable to leave the tap permanently in the tree closed off similar to a water mains tap?

Gas powered hedge trimmer can be handy

Thank you

Great overview thank you!

My bigleaf maple trees here in Northwest Washington are at about 1.8% sugar. I've been making syrup for 4 years now. I only have about 40 taps in so I don't get that mutch syrup, but it's fun to do.

thanks for the great resource

Thanks very much i needed this for my family (we are poor)

One of our elderberry plants has flower heads that are 15 in across. Much larger than any of the other elderberries that we have. The berries are larger also. I just started picking them today and just cannot believe how many berries are on each flower head. Is this a particular type of elderberry or did we just get lucky?

Love this, so much info on Elderberries, just recently heard of them, a year or so ago, so glad to have found you, and hope to purchase some of these berries and try them and hope I can find some Elderberry Jam.....been looking for this all over.....hope to find it here ...thanks for the info....

Wow! …. What an outstanding presentation!

Did you mention that the seeds are poisonous?

I just realized something. There is no weeding around my elderberries. The canopy is so thick there is no sun.

As matter of fact, just yesterday I recieved my plant order from Richters in Ontario, Canada amd 2 elder erry were invluded-Wyldewood and Bob Gordon (which is the cultivar yall produced with the inverted berries). Hoping for the best tgis summer! I also have a sambucus nigra; they're so beautiful. Such aesthetician appeal!

*Haschenberg Holunder* from Austria is be best one

Wish my plants were that big, it’s huge!

I have found something what smells , and looks like elderberry but flowers were not is clusters, they did not look like a umbrella. It was a wild bush, I thought maybe it is just a young bush

your fingers aren't clean...shouldnt touch the rim of the bottle

How about sugar haha

stainless steel don't rust

hey henry....the loses and home depot buckets are toxic....only suppose to use white...the dye to make the buckets colored is not food grade
