Harvesting Elderberries

[@expandetucuerpo7150]

Thanks so much for your video!! Greetings from manchester. I'm literally sitting beside the elderberry tree in the park next to my house, watching your video. Nicely explained🌿🙂

[@saunch09]

Thank you SO much for this video! Just about to harvest my very first year of berries here in our Durham, NC home garden!

[@jameswatters9592]

This is why I love RUclips, it’s 3am and I’m watching a lady clean elderberries

😂

[@bertaandrew9889]

Thank You! Very helpful.

[@ImHandlingIt]

My problem when doing it this way is the micro stems that are still attached to the berry. If I removed each one manually, my berries start defrosting and get mushy. Any tips for dealing with pesky miscrostems?

[@mikeseay8509]

Thank you for the video. If I don't have enough to make anything yet, how should I store the berries I've removed from the stems? I have a dehydrator, but I've never used it yet.

Thanks for the demo on elderberries! Do you ever sell your frozen berries at farmers market or online? Do you sell any of your elderberry value-added products?

[@tumblweed2669]

[@mr.bubbles9958]

(gasp) Elderberries?

[@sahelamiri2191]

OMG SAME

[@DixieGirl9876]

Can you use the half to 3/4's ripened fruit?

[@normsfarms2766]

No. Only the darkest purple or black berries should be used. Avoid red and especially the green ones. They will ruin what ever you make.

[@DixieGirl9876]

Thanks so much for your reply.

[@yourmom-vo6ij]

@@DixieGirl9876 hi

[@KLBServices]

Good but a darn shame the most important part of the video was blurry and hard to see!!

[@bobinmissouri]

at your farm in Missouri do you buy wild elderberries?

[@SavageJarJar]

Elderberries?

[@sahelamiri2191]

SAME LMFAO

[@ariseshine3685]

I’ve heard to not eat them or no more than a few and I’ve heard you can’t eat the seeds.

[@saundrabrookes8042]

Is it true that I shouldn't harvest the berries from first-year plants?

[@normsfarms2766]

Best to pinch flowers off so they don't produce berries in the first place, The flowers are quite useful. normsfarms.com/blogs/growing-and-harvesting-elderberry/harvesting-elderflowers Here a re a few recipes. normsfarms.com/search?type=article&q=elderflowers

[@massages_for_world_peace8909]

How do you know if an elderberry plant is first year or not?

[@corax2012]

If they are ripe it's easy to roll them off without a complicated process.

I wish someone made a Monty Python joke
