You can cut off the entire elderberry tops at ground level and grow new canes each year and improve production. Dig up runners for propagation.
I found that out completely by accident. There are ditches that run along either side of the road that I live in. The city periodically comes to clear it out. Well, I discovered elderberry plants growing on the side of the ditch, and the city came through and completely obliterated them and would you know that they came right back even nicer than before!
I plan to do this that. 'River Hills Harvest' where I had ordered two of my varieties of elderberry cuttings from also suggested cutting them down in late winter. Said it will make all the "elderberry plants fruit at the same time and then it will be easier to harvest the fruit."
I just bought 5 different types of elderberry cuttings last year and they came in January and I put them immediately in some water until I could thaw some soil that I had in my vehicle. I have them now in little containers in the soil and they are doing great and I can’t wait to plant them in pots this spring until we move from our rental apartment to our own house and then they will have their permanent new homes after that. I have 10 gallon grow bags that are especially for them and I hope they continue to do well when I transplant them into their pots. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to getting free cuttings from mine in the future ❣️🤗❣️
Excellent! How have you managed, settling into your new home? Are your elderberries all doing well, now?
I just bought a 14 acre farm in Missouri.... I am digging up some of my elderberries and bringing them with me!
The should thrive in Missouri!
We only have 1 and we got berries. Maybe some varieties don't need a pollinator?
I am thinking this must be the case, as many others in the comments are finding this as well.
I started my Elderberries with one bush and now I have 6 bushes, that have grown from the main bush.. I am the only person that has them in my area. They are the really dark purple berries. I didn't need another bush to have Elderberries.
Me either i get berries without another plant
Our native blue elderberries are self-fertile and easy to find in the forest around here. The berries are a beautiful baby blue.
That's wonderful, I've not gotten any berries without a pollinator.
@@MelissaKNorris High up on a cliff between Longview WA and Cathlamet there is a giant blue elderberry (no others in sight) and it is covered in berries when they are in season. It is too dangerous for anyone to get to so it stays covered in blue and it is so pretty!
Wow, who knew. We have a hollow that has a large area of wild elderberries. There are so many my husband has been mowing them down like weeds. I love making jelly out of the berries, when I can beat the birds to them. Thanks for the info on starting new plants.
I’m from Haisla, British Columbia. The Northwest Coast, elder berries are wild here, most people today consider it a problem weed🫣😮😮. Now , which I’ve known now for about 10 years, people are realizing that elder berries jam , is good medicine too. It help boost up your immune system. No matter what kinda problem you’re body going through.

A couple of weeks ago I planted 4 different varieties of Elderberry cuttings in a 'nursery bed' like the one you made, but mine are in a raised garden bed. I can't wait until eventually some day they will start producing!
How are they producing now?
@@juliemcgugan1244 Thanks for asking! They've branched out, are between 2' & 3' ft. high, 2'ft wide, & doing great. Last year 2023 {their first year} a couple plants produced a few umbels of the berries. Spring 2024 I moved them to along a fence. Once they grow larger I'm sure I will begin to see a lot more berries. I have 11 plants consisting of 4 different American varieties., 'Ranch', 'Bob Gordon' 'Nova', & 'York'.
@@Earthy-Artist Excellent!
Fig trees explode too when you trim them down real low. They grow wonderfully here in western WA. I would suggest the Dessert King for a first-time fig grower because the taste is wonderful and they ripen early.
Thank you Melissa!
Good Thursday morning Melissa. The garden's looking lovely. Just like you, I can't wait for spring.
Thank you for sharing this information with us.
Thanks Melissa, going to give this a whirl.
we often pick the flowers and berries, for recipes when walking! but not really thought of growing them myself!!
I pick elderberries on the parkway but have never tried growing my own! I also didn’t know you needed a pollinator variety to go with your plant. Thank you for the great information!
I didn't know a pollinator was needed either. The ones I brought from where I use to live did not need a pollinator.
In her other video on elderberry she has a variety of sambucus nigra that needs a pollinator. But, sambucus canadensis (common elderberry) is self-pollinating, and produces better if it cross pollinates with another shrub. That is, the sambucus nigra variety needs another species to pollinate. Sambucus canadensis doesn't.
Thank you for posting this... I just bought VERY expensive Elderberry plants from Stark Bros. Hopefully in a few years I will be dividing them like this! Here in the Pacific NW we have the ability to grow many different varieties which is something I am interested in doing. Great video as always!
Hi there, new to your channel, I feel so blessed thank you I'm more inspired than ever.👍subscribed.
I was thinking about growing elderberries. I wasn't aware you needed 2 different varieties for them to produce.
I had the same variety and it produced fine.
American Elderberry grows wild here in South Louisiana. I gather the fruit every fall.
Same in north Florida. It’s everywhere. Gotta say, I don’t know about the eastern portion of the US needing a second plant for pollination. I grew up with one and it did fabulous on its own.
Thanks for sharing,. This reminded me I have Elderberry seeds I bought maybe 3-4 yrs ago and going to plant them today. I didn't realize there were different species. Will I have to obtain more for the pollination or can I plant all the seeds and they feed off each other?
I brought my start of elderberries from the wild of where I use to live. I did not need two varieties for them to produce. Mine seem to spread from the roots.
I have tried twice to root elderberry cuttings with not luck. A local nursery had them for $10, so bought 3 that are doing well. Local county soil conservation district also sells elderberry rooted cuttings for 5 for $12. in spring.
That's a phenomenal price, I wish those were the prices here but alas they're not.
@@MelissaKNorris Another great place to buy elderberries and other native berry plants is Plants of the Wild, in Tekoe, Washington
Elderberry Wine...
Elton John, good tune
My elderberry grow from suckered every year cc
Oh wow I didn't know could just stick it in ground though you need to put it in water to get roots
Hello neighbor (Gig Harbor, WA here), you mentioned growing citrus. What types will you be growing? I have been experiencing w growing citrus here in western Washington and have had mixed success.
I can not see what month you are doing this in. Do you prune for propagating in early or late winter when the bush is dormant?
Melissa, how do I identify elderberry?
Wow! That’s expensive. Elderberry plants grow wild here in South Louisiana and they flower first year planted.
So if I go into the mountains and take a cutting from a wild elderberry bush would growing two of them then provide the pollinator needed? Or do I need to find a different variety and how would I distinguish that?
You'll want two different varieties. With one you may get a small harvest but without another pollinator variety I haven't had any luck
I found a wild one on my property and it had berries last year, but I don’t see any other to pollinate it.
Great show! What other fruits can I cut and stick in the ground to make more plants?
/ please watch Watchman on the Wall 88 and Watchman River and Tony Su on RUclips
I also would like to know!
Currants. gooseberries, and goji make good candidates. Figs can work as well, although I've had more success rooting them inside.
Concord grapes.
I have wild elderberry growing on my property and I was given some black
American elderberry to plant. Will these two varieties cross pollinate? Thanks!
If they're both the Sambucus Canedenis yes
We still have a couple feet of snow on the ground…do I need to wait for it to all melt before I take cuttings?
Usually 8 weeks before your last average frost date. If you have soil somewhere or you can click the link in the video description to the blog post that talks about using water
Can this same process be used with blueberries?
They are not as easy. I recommend air layering. You can also cut off the small suckers if they have roots.
I didn't know you had to have two different kinds to pollinate
What about the native elderberries
I have four. Three bloomed with berries. One has never even bloomed. Not sure why.
I am having trouble finding elderberry plants.
Ask your neighbors. They are everywhere, you just need to find some. A lot of the time they are near wet areas. I usually make my cutting much longer that she did in the video. More like grape cuttings, 2 buds in the ground and two out.
Where is the event
Rockport, WA
thank u
dud you know jesus was nail to elderberry
the cross was made of elderberry
. No, it was a Dogwood Tree & that's y nowadays it's stunted forever after that Tiime is history. The pink flower one it a mankind made cross breed. The natural one is The White flower one that you can find in most forests.
Wow I didn’t know that!
Respectfully disagree that you “need to have 2 different varieties” in order for them to produce. We only have one variety of elderberry and it produces marvelously.
Then you either have other varieties on nearby property OR you have a self-fertile variety. However self -fertile varieties always produce better if there's a pollinator nearby.
@@MelissaKNorris must be a self-fertile variety then! Looks like I need to learn more about the different varieties. Thank you.
If I had an elderberry tree to take cuttings from, I wouldn't need an elderberry tree. Also, you're complaining about $100 over the 100 year life (or more) of two trees. Plus your $50 trees are several years old, cuttings are like saplings.
