Sharing advice from our experiences managing an orchard of 7000 elderberry plants.
Hello, I was wondering what is the closest I can plant them with each other?
we highly recommend planting 4 feet apart. Elderberries need lots of room to expand with time.
Lots of good information. I have some seeds, and still not sure how best to plant them. I’ve seen some saying they put them in the fridge for 6 months. I may divide the packet and try different methods. The pine bark mulch is excellent advice.
What about seeds
This is my favorite video on the Elderberry Tree! Thank you for this incredible information! I love working with Elderberry to make Syrup in the Fall and Winter! It is incredible medicine and works great for our family! 💜
May I ask how many varieties of elderberry cultivars do you grow?
We currently have 10 different cultivars in our orchards.
What "natural sprays?"
We primarily use a sea weed foliar spray.
how do you kill eriophyid mites....they are attacking my dad's plants (May) and there are blooms on the plant.
Neem oil works. Apply foliar spray over a couple of weeks
I just watched this. Very hood information. What is the name of the business and do you still sell?
Late response here, sorry! We do not currently sell elderberry plants.
Thank you for sharing.
Hi! I’m your neighbor to the East, NWA. Your videos on Elderberries are top notch! You’re the only ppl I found who would explain pruning as well as you did. I see you haven’t posted any videos in a year, I hope you come back soon. You’re a very good teacher Brent!
Thank you so much, @Eyes2C! We're glad the videos help. Stop by if you're traveling our stretch of I-40. We'd love to meet you!
Great video I also make videos about the different trees and plants on our farm. You should check it out and subscribe as well. Thank you.
Hello will pine needles work the same as pine bark
yes, but a lot slower
I just put my first two elderberry plants in the ground. A gift to me from a friend that works for my husband that has a small elderberry farm. Im super excited to see how they produce next year. They are about half the fullness of the plant example you shared in this video.
Beautiful plant. Very informative. Want a medical plant, for Iowa, location.
Forgot to mention, that the jelly that I make is fabulous!
I lived in Missouri for about 20 years, I now live in California. A black variety with white flowers are native to Missouri, and generally,most of the talk/research, is in reference to this type of elderberry. In California, the native variety has large beautiful clusters of blue berries. Also, the flowers are pastel yellow. This wild variety sometimes grow into fairly large trees and I've seen them as tall as 30' if not more. But normally they will grow into a tree between 15 and ,20' feet. Most of them do tend to stay as a shrub though they seem to be larger than the eastern variety. I tried starting cuttings last year,but all of them eventually died, From what I read, it was probably due to poor drainage. I'm going to try again, also I'm going to try to plant some bareroot. There are thousands of these plants growing in the floodplain of a river,near one of my workplaces. Interestingly, this California variety usually goes thru a long dry Summer with no rainfall at all. Also, the PH is fairly neutral, so your right about some varieties having their own set of growing conditions. The reason the berries are blue out west is because they have a coating of yeast. I grew up surrounded by these beautiful plants and one year I gathered a 5 gallon bucket full of berries, far more than I needed. I forgot and left the bucket half full, a few days later, it had turned to wine. I had a small glass full, it was pretty damn good!
Great info!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Would it be possible to grow the medicinal Elderberry in a 25 gal container? I'm sure I'd have to prune to manage size but I've not seen any grown in containers.....yet 😊
We "NEVER" recommend growing elderberries in containers. They need to spread with new shoots(canes) each year. The vast majority of fruit will be on the new canes.
@360farms9 bummer, then I will have to wait to come and get some. I know I'll be moving and I want to be able to take it with me. 😞
Oh my, I wish I'd had this info before I purchased/planted cuttings. They aren't as easy as other growers say they are. I'd love to get a couple of grown, well established, potted plants.
Hi, I just subscribed. I'm a very new elder addict. Picked a bunch lately here in N.E. Pa.. I picked from wild plants here. I don't know what kind they are. I plan on making wine and tincture. Would buying another cultivar help my little Elder patch? If so what breed would you recommend? Anticipating your reply and thank you for your videos. Steve.
Hi Steve, Native elderberry (sambucus canadensis) is totally self pollinating. There is a tremendous amount of dis-information on the web about elderberries. What a lot of people forget is that there's over 25 individual "species" of elderberry on planet Earth and they are night & day different from each other. Besides, now we have "varieties" of canadensis that flower at completely different times so how are they helping to pollinate? Hope this helps.
excellent, very informative, thank you :)
This is very helpful. I just bought one that is 8 ft tall with 4 limbs growing straight up. Several little ones growing at the base. It's still in the original 2 gallon pot. I can't plant it for another 3 months. I will move it to a 7 gallon pot. Any advice?
I never let elderberries get that tall in a pot. Since it has new canes coming out at the base, I'd prune the tall canes back when re-potting so to avoid transplant shock. Then get that plant in the ground as soon as possible!
My plants never died back is is mandatory I cut mine back we live here in Savannah Georgia I’m guessing I need to do it ASAP…this would be our second winter …thank you so much for this information…
"Dying back" and going "dormant" are two different conditions. Elderberries are deciduous in most areas of North America. If you are going to prune it should be during or close to dormancy. For coastal Georgia and with our climate changing so drastically that might not happen for you. The later you choose to prune, the later the plants will flower and fruit, simple as that.
I appreciate this video…but living here in the extreme heat of Savannah Georgia I’ve learned that the elderberry I’ve seen were growing HAPPILY were in low lying areas as well as under shelters of larger trees…not necessarily directly, and in afternoon shelter here ….I’ve planted ours in an open area …in their own bed as well as afternoon sun ….they seem to be growing in leaps and bounds being only the second year with actually having berries the first growing season that the birds happily ate much to my dismay…this year seeing quite a bit of extended growth around the trees… all were started from cuttings and literally all took to my delight …nice to see your plants are well established …with the hopes that we will get a better harvest than the first year …many thanks for sharing this information…every area needs to be well thought out.
Hey neighbor. I live just west of you in Effingham. There's tons of wild elderberry blooming ALL up and down the roads now.
It is hard for me to even imagine that many plants.
I hope you continue to make these videos. They are very informative!
Interesting!
I have just found your channel and I love it. Since it is now March, is it too late to prune my elderberry? Is is starting to put out tiny leaves here in MS. Thank you!
Pruning should be done when the plant is dormant, otherwise you'll put the plant into "shock" .
I live in Coastal NC. I prune my blueberries in January. Is that when I should prune my elderberry as well?
Prune when they are completely dormant, here in Oklahoma it's mid January.
@@360farms9 Thank you
I am trying to grow some Elderberry. Where in Oklahoma are you located?
Webbers Falls, southern Muskogee County. Just Google 360 Farms for our website and info. We're open Tues- Sat 10 to 6
Am I screws for plant in early February in SE missouri
So if I already planted it now in late February will it die because I planted it earlier February ❓❓❓
Elderberries are extremely cold hardy. It will probably be fine as long as it's well mulched. A lot depends on your location.
Great information thanks
Great video thank you. I planted elderberries last fall. This is what I needed to know back then..
I have a couple of elderberry trees I bought in small pots. They have been transferred to a larger pot and are flowering. I took a photo of what I expected to be a bee on the flowers but it’s a fly as you mentioned.
I was really looking forward to the video about the different varities of Elderberry. I am looking to grow some here in North Carolina, I just purchased a John I got it really cheap at my local nursery. It was the only one they had. Which do you think would be best for my area? You should make more of these I too enjoyed your video.
I hope you keep making videos, I like the straightforward way of talking.
Thankyou I have a bonsai one and this was very helpful😊
It would be nice to hear it. The camera is across the room and the man is speaking in a toned down manner. I'm very interested in this but not willing to plant the phone in my ear to hear it.😫😫
Maybe captions would help you. I can hear him just fine. 😊
Love your content! From Pennsylvania here, would like to see a video of taking cutting, and potting them up. Thanks, look forward to future videos.
I would like it to get Elderbarry but I live near Calgary and I dont know if it will grow here or where to get some....pls help me.
Yes they will grow in Canada, but shipping stock from a supplier in the US to you is a nightmare! There are suppliers in Canada , you'll just need to search them out. Just remember there are numerous species of elderberries out there. We only work with Sambucus canadensis- American Black Elder. Good luck
Eva contact Coen farm in Alberta. He grows lots of berries as well as pork and beef. I don't know where he is located compared to Calgary. Also Verge permaculture previously was in Calgary so Rob could be another source.
It would have been better if this gentleman was outside actually showing how to get cuttings, cutting them, and physically planting them. Too much talking, not enough show...that's why I gave a thumbs down.
Susan, did you go to his other videos? He has several older ones where he is out there with the plants showing you. What he discussed in this one addressed issues I needed help with. Also, he may have been inside because the weather in Oklahoma has been off the charts crazy and since it's almost fertilizing time I think he thought it was important to get us this information now. Texas Deb
Looks a lot like Ohio right now. Just found you, and love your content. Thank you!
Thank you for this great information. I have 3 Ranch Elderberry stick to plant. I have 2 dwarf Blueberry in the ground due to bloom this year. Can I plant these two berries together, or must they be very apart from the other? Thank you in advance for your answer.
Yes you can since both types of berries require very similar soil pH and conditions. With the elderberries leave at least 4 feet between each plant.
Do you mow them to prune?
No, we prune or cut them down with a large commercial weed eater fitted with a circular blade. This gives a nice flush cut without shredding. Then we mulch them up with a mower.
Excellent advice- thank you!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Thank you for another good video - I wish I would have found you guys a month ago... I am expecting three cuttings that I hope to be able to grow in large containers in zone 8A.
This is a great video! I wish the man who was on Doug and Stacy's show had talked about all this before I ordered my cuttings.
Yeah, I ordered from him 6 sticks and none made it. The one that I cut from the side if the road, came back this year.
This is perfect timing for me I am in SW Washington and I had gotten me some elderberry shrub starts last fall they are approximately 3 to 4 feet tall atm. I was wondering how far I could prune them back to get cuttings to propagate, I wouldn't have though to clip them back that far. If they are still newish would you want to leave more stock or not and would I want to do that now or wait untell I am closer to spring? Also when planting the starts do I need to be concerned about dear and rabbits? Thank you for sharing your time.
Our advice is to wait to do any pruning until the plants have been in the ground two winters, then every year after that. I might add that we only grow sambucus canadensis so keep that in mind if you're working with another species.
@@360farms9 Ty for the advice.
If I lived closer I would Definitely come see you ❤ However, I’m in upper Northern Nevada… have found some wild ones & have planted 3.. one died 😢 Our winter temps have been in the 20s & the bushes still have green leaves. Should I wait for complete dormancy? And will they be ok cut to the ground in low temps? I’m z 5/6. Thank you 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
We see the best results by pruning in dormancy. For our Zone 7, that's mid January.
