How to take Elderberry CUTTINGS! Grow Your Own!!

The Elderberry is an astounding plant that everybody should have in their yards! It will grow in most parts of the country and thrives in the Midwest.

The flowers have been popular for treating colds and fevers, and to help expectoration in bronchitis and asthma. Elder is commonly described as being a diaphoretic. It is often incorporated in herbal mixtures to treat influenza, sinusitis, and bronchitis. Other recommended uses include neuralgia, nervous conditions, inflammatory diseases, rheumatism, diabetes, and various infections.

THEY ALSO MAKE GREAT JAMS AND PIES!!

Elderberries have been one of my favorite plants to grow in my backyard food forest. They are so easy to propagate I end up giving so many cuttings away! Thanks for sharing your method!

Did one earlier this year, was a little concerned if it would grow or not, since I just planted it directly in soil straight off the cut, but it has proven to come around just nicely.

Going to give it to someone I know, the next time I go for a visit, should be appreciated!

That said, the berries do taste great right off the tree :)

It is always wet in the winter in NC so you can stick them right in the ground this time of the year.

Great video!! I just rooted a dozen of those for my orchard.

Should this be done very early spring or can it be done late fall?

Excellent video ! I am relocating and had been interested in bringing some elderberry with me - very wonderfully medicinal as you said.  Thank You for showing the "whole" process and sharing both ways of starting the roots - the 2nd way will be great for me at this time. One question, I just found your video and my elderberry flowers are coming, can I still do this?

Love your video. I just discovered we have elderberry. Prob is we move in August. The flowers are blooming. Can we still get cuttings from it? Thanks

[wolfen]

What time of year are you taking cuttings in ? Early spring ???

[damierinle]

Hi, how quickly after cutting them do you need to replant it? Ie will it survive a 2 hour plane journey 😢😅

I've been trying to find Elderberry in the wild but I've read that there is a poisonous look-alike. Do you know much about this? If so, could you make a video on it?

[charlescoker]

Have you ever tried air layering elderberries?

[JulieWolf]

Did you forget to mention how to use the willow water with elderberry cuttings?

Great video but no music while talking. Can’t understand you.

Good luck harvesting any berries.  I have a number of clumps in my back yard but the Cedar Waxwings are busy stripping the berries even as I type this.  The birds usually eat all the berries before they have a chance to ripen.  They eat them while they are still red.

Idk why people gotta take 15 mins for a 5 min video good info but he could've spit all that out in a third of the time and got the same info out there

I would like to get the niger species started here. Do you know where I can get seeds or cuttings.
