Great video. I'm starting my orchard this year with 200 plants. This video is what I needed

Nice! Did you use cuttings to start the 200 plants? I'm getting four potted plants on order, different varieties. Good luck!

I have been searching for elderberry farms in Idaho. Not finding any. Do you know of any in Idaho?

[@royautrey5226]

Where can I purchase the seeds or preferably cuttings?

[@rogermiller4912]

I purchased my cuttings through the State Forestry Division. They were extremely affordable and arrived very healthy.

Terry. Thank you for all you do. I have learned so much. I don't have a big piece of land but I grow plenty in my area. I am learning so much on Elderberry thanks to you. I will take pics when my elderberry grows. Thank you soooo much.

In a backyard garden setting, do you recommend 1 or more vertities for cross pollination. Do you need more then one plant for pollination or is elder a self pollinator?

[@riverhillsharvest2412]

We are discovering now that multiple varieties are beneficial in pollination for certain varieties. We would recommend having two varieties or more.

@@SavannaInstitute how many chill hours does elderberry need to have?

[@ll3174]

I bought 9 cuttings from river hill I put them in a one gallon pot and watered they grew leaves and after two months I planted them on the ground they did really good until the July central Texas scorching sun killed them all now I don’t know where to plant them because I’m trying again I have five well rooted plants right now in solo cups that have to be planted because the roots are starting to come out I’m just afraid to lose them again. What advise can you give me do I have a better chance to plant them now (September)in same area since they have good roots and will have more time to strength before next years June and July scorching sun? Thank you
