What most disconnected people dont understand is that, we are connected to everything, including the plante and when we give thanks to them, they truly do hear us and understand
I'm so happy you're making vids again. My journey with Elder began shortly after my bestest friend died in the spring of 2020. an elderberry appeared near my front door. It wasn't there, nothing was there(previous owners piled concrete blocks,stones in that area), and then suddenly, this large,lively,majestic plant was draping the front door of my home. I didn't know what it was but was drawn to it& compelled to save it from harm so I forbade hubby&lawn people from cutting her.This is when I saw your vid & the picture looked like my newly gifted tree plant. We have the cadensis variety & you taught me about her antiviral properties. I made a syrup(yumyum). Fast forward to present times that little tree is thriving. she gifted me two more babies in places where the garden desperately needed shade. She(&mugwort) accompanied me through a dark night of the soul. Here I am now, transformed. Thank you, herbal jedi. Love to you,your famfam,your friends. You're much appreciated.
If its growing near a foundation of a brick house thats not great can you move it. They grow everywhere like weeds and can get into stone and uplift foundations very easily.
Happy to jump in and comment on any questions or thoughts you have on Elder. Hope you enjoy this one. I'm trying to make a little longer format videos this year so that we can go a bit deeper with the herbs we are looking at..
Hey, yes, also glad to see you back. I’m wondering about identifying the different varieties? The one I have maybe the red? The flower stems have quite a red tinge to them. I’ve used the flowers for quite a few years and gave some berries to a friend to make wine, which was glorious. If I eat the berries raw they give me a little nausea. Here in southern Australia the native one is a white berry and grows quite small. I haven’t used it. Love your work 🙂
@@ianonley65 I'm not familiar with one that grows a white berry. You may be able to find some info on it online. The big difference in the blue and the black is the shape of the flower sets. They all come to the same place on top, looking more like a shield on top. where as the red ones are shaped more like a cone.
I have the ones with black leaves and pink flowers and wondered if I can eat the berries. They never seem to go black but from red into a sort of brown. Worried about them
I think the world needs to understand we came from nature. We're not the only ones who need cared for. Everything has its place. Thank you for your videos
❤❤❤ I drank 250 ml of Elderberry cough and cold remedy in the past 24 hours. Things are moving and improving. My whole self was literally asking for more on all levels which makes sense on all levels as where I'm currently at. These blessings are all around us. A few years ago I made homemade Elderberry Syrup and a friend concocted a beautiful Elderberry Cordial. I've not had to use antibiotics for along time and I'm praying that what ever is in my lungs and ear move out by tomorrow or antibiotics are a must. I've been doing all the things so we will see. I love how you mentioned take us into the dark, I didn't know that. Also she is an Elder of berries so I love her for being here. And she's gorgeous too! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes the world is aching to know about God (his name is Yahweh) he created male and female only, and he gave plants for the service of man. Learn his ways in the Torah, get to know him before it is too late. I pray for the lost who want to be found, the ill who want to be healed, all who want to be saved through the name of Yeshua Amen 🙏🏻
I love Elder tree and from the flowers I make a drink which goes perfect with the season keeping warming outside. I dry flowers for tea, making this drink with spring water, lemons , flowers and sometimes mint, lemon balm , some strawberries and of course honey. I also made a flower essence. Now is so abundant here in Romania. And from the berries I am making tincture and elixir.
Im from danmark. And i actually doesnt give a gift. But i always give the tree love in a hug and take al the trash around it. ❤ Thanks for your video and sharing ❤
In the UK Elder was traditionally regarded as protection from witches and anything evil in general.A cross made from Elder branches would be hung over the door to the barn where livestock was kept to keep them from harm.
Elder Berry and flowers have been part of my apothecary for over 30 years. I love it! I make syrup from the berries and tea from the flowers. I like to keep them on hand for seasonal remedies.
I've used elder teas and tinctures during cold & flu season, as well as commercialized cough syrups with elder added. Was unaware of the red variety. Very helpful content; the longer format is appreciated, even if I'm new to your channel. This whole field of knowledge is part of what should be communicated to us as we become children and take our place in the world.
I bought property where not one has lived in 30 years in Michigan....there is red elderberry there. I looked it up but there wasn't a lot about them besides some "DONT USE, POISON" scare mongering without much explanation. I appreciate the wide spectrum of info Yarrow gives.
Super love ❤❤ the connection you demonstrate and honoring of elder. The gifts offered! You are a blessing. Thank you! The sacred request too ( I usually get an over whelming yes also! ) it’s rare to get a no but amazing and of course respected if I do. Thank you for teaching leaving some for the animals!
i found an old recipe using elder leaf, boiled in lard until crios, strained and added a little beeswax. I used it as a salve for my neighbours dog, worked a treat.
Thank you so much! We make a sugar sirup from the flowers for the summer, with some ice and also dandelion sirup and fresh mint and lemmon juice. Also we do a berry tincture, ours is a black variety, which is amazing for the flu season :)
Elderberries make wonderful Fire Cider [from basic Gladstar/Mountain Rose recipe add 1.5 cups or more]. Try it you will LOVE it.....fantastic as a tonic or in vinaigrette or sauce on whatever....delicious as is.
I have lately entered into the world of using herbs and wild plants in my health regimen. For example , I just used helichrysm, strawflower, for treating my bout with poison ivy. My daughter makes a tincture of Jewel weed for the same purpose.. We are given plants that can help just about any health issue. . Thank you for your work.
Nice, very nice! Thank you. I m in France now , been picking up the flowers , made fritters and limonade also called : fairies champagne. So delicious. Here we tell people not to confuse that small tree with a plant that looks the same, that we call black sureau, where there is no bark as it is a plant! Can't wait to come back to the USA to start my foraging there too . Thanks again and keep enjoying life !
🦋the forest of magic and wonder, and the only place i'm ever at peace. Love your videos so glad to see you again. Thanks for the information. I have only been tincturing elderberries, well I have a kind of elixir going with brandy, elderberries that i had frozen from last season and honey which i'm keeping in the fridge till summer then will strain and add drops to my drinks.
OH YEAH!!! Adore my elderflower & berry harvesting. A labour of love & SO worth it! Also got 7 little cuttings slowly doing their 'thing' Wonderfully huge amount of information Thank You 💜🙏💜
Very good man. I’ll have to nail down my ID on this one before I attempt to use it. I haven’t gotten deep into my shrubs and flowers or berries just yet. Thanks for laying some ground work here for me Yarrow.
I make elderflower cordial eveŕy year from my pink flowered elder, the colour is outrageous. I also collect the white flowers from the wild to make skin creams and put dried flowers in a little muslim bag to use in a face and body wash. Ive yet to collect the berries to make a rob for winter use, hopefully latet this year insha'Allah
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about this plant with us!.. I just learnt about this plant today and I’m grateful for all the details that you shared on here! 💚✨
Just made my elderflower syrup with a combination of flowers from Sambucus nigra and Sambucus Nigra black lace the black lace flowers are pink and give a pink hue to the syrup, which is quite lovely.
I cook red elderberries for about 10 minutes and freeze the filtered juice into icecubes. When I feel a sickness coming on, one icecube of elder will usually stop it in its tracks.
I did this once as well. Think I will try using the juice again this year. They are in such abundance here and I would love to take some more time to find ways to work with the red berries. Mostly I have used the blue and the black as they are easier to trust the berries.
Thank you for another wonderful video, your connection to the plants is inspiring, your respect for them is wonderful. I have several elderberry bushes in our yard, with more popping up and so i wanted to get connected to this plant and learn more. I believe i may have Sambucus canedensis, i need to look up if those berries are toxic as well, i'd like to try my hand at the oh so famous elderberry syrup this fall and you've planted the idea of turning this months kombucha into an elderflower flavor!
Ireland here !! Elderflower jam (jelly to Americans) is the best you will ever taste !! Also in Celtic mythology if you fell asleep under an elder tree you would be taken away to the other world by the fairies !! 😂
Love your videos, so informing and beautiful. well done. I cannot find information if the ornamental 'Black Lace' has comparable benefits. Do you know?
The elderberry is not poisonous if you cook the berries, I grow them and make my own elderberry syrup, its wonderful for coughing, also I make a cough syrup with the flowers , set them in honey for 6-8 weeks at least and strain
It depends on the type of berries. The Red ones have seeds in them that can be slightly toxic, where as the blue and black are great to work with as berries. Though if you process the red ones properly they can be used that way as well.
Hey man, turn the volume down on the music. Who needs complaints from the neighbors? :) On another note, from 9 seasons on fire towers in Alberta (your dad's book was gold out there), I learned that intention in the forest is everything. Keep the vibe going. The forest knows.
So what I did was harvest the berries and I kept them on the vine and I brought them indoors, and I let them finish their development off the vine and slowly dry up. When the berries were completely dry, I waited. I waited till around December 1 and then I planted 27,000 berries in individual pots I do have them growing right now they take a long time they’re very slow. I will be patient with them but I also will be preparing their next size pot because they are like a hermit crab. They always need a new shell Until they finally go into the ground permanently somewhere
You sais red elder are more toxic and I want to know if golden elderberry (SAMBUCUS CANADENSIS ‘AUREA’) is edible and medicinal. I just buy one for my garden and you make me doubt! Your videos are awesome treasures for me as a student to become a clinical herbalist. Thank you for this content!

Great, that was a treat to listen to, thank you! Is there any relevance or difference whether to use the fresh flower or the dried flower for tea? Love
Nice. However, the good greenwitch puts the offerings to the roots near the stem/trunk. You can share the libation but never as cheat as you did. Good to see a herbert in the woods here, though.
Thanks for your comment and thoughts on offerings. I agree that at the roots of a plant is the best place for an offering. I did leave an offering at the base of the stem in this case, just also on the flower stock for a visual. Also catching some of the libations in my cup after the initial offering was me being playful, which is not to protocol of how I normally would do that.
The berries of the Blue or the black elder are the ones to make cough syrup with. You will find all you need to id them fully if you do a search online for and of these latin names. sambucus nigra (black), sambucus cerulea (blue), sambucus canadensis (black).
Typically I will leave some flowers for berry growth on a tree. And try to harvest in areas that there is lots of elder so that I am taking 10-20% of what is there. But if you harvest all the flowers on a plant it will not produce any berries.

whats happend with a dog ?
Thats great, thanks for sharing your experience with it. Not many people look to the leaf of this plant, but it was a classic use for external remedy.

I have both kind of elder, red & purple but not the European type. Grows wild all over my Taylor County, WI. Property.
awesome can't wait 😁
Elderflower is my favorite!! Tastes delicious
I have the black lace one in my yard, its beautiful, does it have the same properties?
Yes you should be good to work with that one as medicine.
Yes, look up making a cough syrup with the Black Lace berries……
Gift is a video on how you make elderflower kombucha!!! Please, please.
I made some Kombucha with Elder Flower and Ginger and it was the most refreshing drink, I have ever had.

Hi chat! And fellow herb nerdssss
Hey from Ireland 🇮🇪
@@markirish7599 hellooo
Just planted 3 elderberries plants in my back yard had no idea how important they are,, I'll look to take very good care of them
What do you do about the super tiny white bugs on the Elderflowers when dehydrating in a dehydrator?
I always love your videos ! ❤
i like your stories a lot
Blessings brother. Do you know of anyone that does Work Shops to teach face to face for this?
You sais red elder are more toxic and I want to know if golden elderberry (SAMBUCUS CANADENSIS ‘AUREA’) is edible and medicinal. I just buy one for my garden and you make me doubt! Your videos are awesome treasures for me as a student to become a clinical herbalist. Thank you for this content!
That is a specialty cultivar that has been bread for its beauty. I have not had any experience personally with golden Elder.
I did have a quick search on line though and found this info for the species: "The berries, high in antioxidants, are edible only if cooked. Uncooked berries can induce illness."
So I would say you should be fine making a syrup with the berries of that one.
Thank you for your wisdom and reverence. I love elder flower. I have made flower essence, and tincture. I am wondering if there is a way to do the flowers in honey?
I did elderflower with lemon peel in honey last year, very effective in my experience
What about hot flash heat..?? Can it help with that?
Great, that was a treat to listen to, thank you! Is there any relevance or difference whether to use the fresh flower or the dried flower for tea? Love
I don't give thanks to the plants. I give thanks to God who gave us the plants and the knowledge to use them.
Amen brother. It's a fine line when working with plant medicine.
I agree!
Thank God...cuz he's the one who made the medicines!
Watching this video was the closest thing to be out in nature itself!
but....the pollen from the red elder is okay to ingest?
I've used the berries to die leather.
Can you macerate the flower in honeys?
Yes.
Thanks. Excited to try. I macerate thing sliced ginger and fresh turmeric in raw honey.
We generally put it at the base of the plant
HOW do we identify the red elderberry tree? For safety's sake
❤
💚
Nice. However, the good greenwitch puts the offerings to the roots near the stem/trunk. You can share the libation but never as cheat as you did. Good to see a herbert in the woods here, though.
Thanks for your comment and thoughts on offerings. I agree that at the roots of a plant is the best place for an offering. I did leave an offering at the base of the stem in this case, just also on the flower stock for a visual. Also catching some of the libations in my cup after the initial offering was me being playful, which is not to protocol of how I normally would do that.
The root offering is at 7:54 on the time stamp.
LOL if I gave myself a new name, like Yarrow for instance, I would call myself "Sambuca" and if I ever can get a cat the name will be 'Tartuffe'
@9:35 Audio artifact. 😁
Which elderberry plant is the one that makes cough syrup? And what’s the difference in the plants? Thank you
The berries of the Blue or the black elder are the ones to make cough syrup with.
You will find all you need to id them fully if you do a search online for and of these latin names.
sambucus nigra (black),
sambucus cerulea (blue),
sambucus canadensis (black).
Are all Elderberry stems hollow or just the red?
I think all are
Chaltumay!
Oh man it smells like cat pee?!? How do you get so into the smell brother Yarrow?
Can you harvest the flowers but save the berry growth?
Typically I will leave some flowers for berry growth on a tree. And try to harvest in areas that there is lots of elder so that I am taking 10-20% of what is there.
But if you harvest all the flowers on a plant it will not produce any berries.
Praise the Lord Jesus for creating this wonderful plant! God bless you Sir.
Elder was around Long before Jesus

Only the roots and stems are poisonous. The leaves have the most medicine do your research better. You are correct about the red berries though.
Is it anthraquinones, not anthocyanins? Anthocyanins are the pigments in fruits like bilberry (and probably Sambucus nigra, the BLACK elderberry).
Very interesting, thank you. Please consider asking the camera person not to move so much : ) It made me dizzy and I had to stop watching
