Wonderful interview with such a bright farmer. Starting my elderberry farm in Wisconsin this year.

Wild cherries and elderberries makes the best jelly u ever ate. I live in Florida and they both grow here

@AllYay 3 года назад

I'm in North Carolina, and I am shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, at how long I've been looking at elderberry gone wild in yards and tumble-down property all over--since I was a child.

Thank you for the vid(s)! and the .pdf Looking forward to expanding my small elderberry crop here in mid Arkansas over the next few years and you have been an excellent and trusted resource.

Thanks. I am new to elderberry. Nee information.

@MizzouAgroforestry 3 года назад

Hi Helen. Thank you for your comment. Patrick did an excellent job on this video. Please look at this pdf for more information on growing elderberries. www.centerforagroforestry.org/profit/2014GrowingElderberryGuide.pdf Depending on your location, there are several really good elderberry Facebook groups, and please feel free to contact your local MU Extension agent. Or an extension agent from your local university.

@mcintoshapple2638 3 года назад

Who are the buyers? Where do you sell a great deal of elderberries and flowers?

@MizzouAgroforestry 3 года назад

Thank you for watching Mizzou Agroforestry, and for your comment. We would recommend that you reach out directly to Patrick with your questions. You may reach him at this email address: byerspl@missouri.edu

Wonder if the wild elderberry is worth planting too? I’m blessed with my father’s property in Wisconsin with wild native elderberry growing all over. Might take some cuttings and see what the production is planted in a good site with good ground.

@MizzouAgroforestry 3 года назад

I will contact Patrick to get his input on your question, and then get back to you. My understanding is that these varieties were wild, but they were selected for traits that were desired. You can take cuttings of your native elderberry plants.

@@MizzouAgroforestry I ordered Adams, Pocahontas, wyldewood, Ranch & Bob Gordon from Terry Durham this week, plan is to plant a row of the wild Wisconsin elderberry and a row of these cultivars & see what performs best in my area in Taylor County Wisconsin. Might be a fun project.

@bobsblues9944 3 года назад

A friend has had Johns and Adams growing on her property for many years and they were both producing very well until two years ago . They produce lots of flowers but then no berries . This occurred two years in a row . My elderberry plants just had a very good amount of flowers but it looks like no berries on mine either. Any body know why this is occurring ?

@MizzouAgroforestry 3 года назад

Hi! I will pass this question along to Patrick and see if we can get you an answer and solution to your issue.

@MizzouAgroforestry 3 года назад

Hi. So I spoke with Patrick and here is what he said. "We are receiving similar reports. Possible causes include poor pollination conditions, lack of pollinators, lack of 2 or more cultivars present in a planting (recent research had demonstrated that elderberries are not self fertile), or some other condition." Hope this info helps you.

@bobsblues9944 3 года назад

@@MizzouAgroforestry Thanks for your response. There were more than two cultivars in close proximity and these plants had been producing a good amount of berries in previous years and then stopped doing so for two years . They are flowering but not making berries . No frosts occurred during the time of flowering .

@howmygardengrows3080 3 года назад

I have elderberry growing in my yard. Can you recommend a good resource to identify the cultivar?

@MizzouAgroforestry 3 года назад

Hi! I am reaching out to Patrick Byers on this question and hope to have an answer for you soon. Thank you for your interest in Mizzou Agroforestry RU-vid channel.

@MizzouAgroforestry 3 года назад

Hi again! There is no resource to identify an unknown cultivar if it is a "wild" plant. If you obtained and planted this as a known cultivar, there might be a way to identify the cultivar.

@Salmiyaguy1 2 года назад

hi, can I cross pollinate american elderberry with another variety? or does it need to be another American elderberry. I am simply planting another elderberry for more berries as suggested on the tage. What would you suggest for a second elderberry variety?

@MizzouAgroforestry 2 года назад

Thank you for your interest. I am waiting on a response to help answer your questions.

@MizzouAgroforestry 2 года назад

Hi Charles, it is difficult to answer your question without more info. I spoke to one of our researchers, and he told me , "Yes, it is best to plant two varieties of elderberry near each other, or at least have some wild plants nearby." Please feel free to contact the University Center for Agroforestry or the Horticulture and Agroforestry Research Center for more assistance. Our contact info is listed in the description below each of our videos.

Don't do monoculture! I have at least 7 blue elderberry trees. But I did not intend to do that cause I expected some of them to die cause there is no rain here in the summer. But all of them survived although not very happily in the first two years. Now, they all thrive except for one that is planted on some crazy hard clay soil right next to a Japanese rose shrub with crazy root systems. Interplant elderberries with other trees or fruit trees. They benefit from each other. Don't do monoculture!
