Can elderberries be grafted?
The wild elderberries here are poisonous, except for the flesh of the
berries. What would happen if I grafted nonpoisonous elderberries onto the
local rootstock? I am thinking of using the Northwestern native blue
elderberry for the scion.
I know that the Bulluck brothers down in the San Juan islands grafted
named apples onto the native crabapple stock there, but those crabs were
themselves edible.
Thanks for you ideas.
