Hi
all, Last
fall I created a website of all of the elderberry
resources (book, extension publications, articles, and websites) I could find
pertaining to elderberry culture (not so much on the medicinal qualities, just
growing and pest control). With
this thread, I looked through the links and couldn’t find many images of
the varieties mentioned, but hopefully the culture and pest control information
will be of assistance to some of you.

Message----- I
don't know whether the elderberries you've received from the Mo. Dept. of
Conservation are seedlings or plants grown from root cuttings. My guess
is that they're seedlings because I'd think the department would want
to maximize genetic diversity. If
they're seedlings, you only need to
plant two plants near each other. Had
they been grown from root cuttings (the way named cultivars are), it would
probably be prudent to plant in groups of three to five plants to increase
the chance of having plants of at least two genetic compositions
together to cross pollinate. -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn. -----Original

Re: [NAFEX] Elderberries Question 'Ello, I
live in Missouri and the state Department of Conservation sells
trees and bushes once a year and I have been buying many over the last
4 years. They sell bundles of 25
trees or bushes for $25. This is the
first year that they have had elderberries on the list and I have a bundle
coming in May, along with about 300 other trees. I ordered blackberries
from them last year and they are growing like crazy. You mention
that elderberries are not self fertile.
What do I need to do to have
them produce berries? Also, when I
get them in the ground and get some
growth from the elderberries I can attach a pic or 2 if that would help
at all. Have
