Last weekend, I took a couple of girls on a random hike. All three of us are trained herbalists, so we're always on the look out for plants. The trail we were on was filled with elders, but were too deep in the thick brush, except for one, but the berries were too high. I put one of the girls on my shoulder and lifted her up we came home with enough Elderberries for all three of us. I made syrup the following day. While watching this video, it occured to me to add elderberry syrup to the kombucha I bottled last weekend sitting in my kitchen. You're the best

[@peppysdotcom]

I simmer the berries in water to make a type of cough syrup. It's better than Zicam to stop a cold in it's tracks. Also, I make pie filling from them and make an old Norwegian pastry from them. I dehydrate a LOT of berries for future use. They have to be cooked to use them. Not sure about the tame ones, but the wild ones do. Or you'll get a stomach upset from them if eaten "raw".

I used to get the flu as a child every year and it would always last at least a month and my parents always gave me the main stream meds but once I moved out on my own someone told me that the medication I was taking could be the cause of my prolonged sickness. They told me about elderberries and umka something found at a more natural store. I made the switch only out of desperation to not be sick for a full month. And now I rarely get sick or the flu but when I do (recently got one for the first time in 3 years) it only lasted for a few days!

I have the American variety in my garden, too, and I cut them down to about 4 feet every spring. They grow back to 12 and more feet within weeks, lol. However, I only do this to control their spread, since they act much like a weed and are extremely aggressive and invasive. In Europe, we let them grow along meadows and country streets, and nobody ever trims them. Nonetheless, they bear fruit and do great every year! A friend of mine here wanted to start an elderberry farm in MO, and he learned the hard way that the deer love these shrubs. He would have had to fence everything in to make it deer safe, they literally ate hundreds of his little elderberry plants! The two I have were the last ones which he had not planted, and I got the two little pots from him! They turned into little monster bushes, and the birds get the entire crop!

You might be happiest ordering them directly from www.riverhillsharvest.com. The owner, Terry, is the guest speaker in this video. That's how I got started. That way, you will know exactly what type you are getting. My plant varieties are all mixed up in my field, so I've lost track. Again, if we can figure out how to do so, I'd be happy to send you some. I'm in Ohio. I just pruned mine back today, and made the cuttings as described. I pushed most of them into the ground. The extra ones are in glass jars of water on south-facing windowsills, so I'll see what happens. I had stuck some randomly in my raised bed garden two years ago right out of the packages Terry sent, thinking I'd move them as soon as I could to a permanent location. I cut them way back the next spring thinking I'd have time to move them, but I didn't. They took off!!! They grew above my head in just that one season and produced lots of berries. I had good duck-bedding mulch and goat manure compost in that raised bed, which probably is why they did so well. Last year I moved them to another field, and they didn't do much, so I'm hoping that the pruning I did today, along with applying more compost and water, will pay off this year. Let me know what you decide to do.

Wow this was a fantastic video! Now since I found Doug and Stacy awhile back I have been binge watching 🤣😂🙏

I’m DYING to grow my own! We just came up with a way to expand our small suburban garden so now I just have to find some elderberry plants!

Oh I love this video. Im watching it for the second time at 1am without my notebook so I guess a third viewing will be needed. So much great info!

[@monicag.1527]

Great info! Especially on how to make the cuttings. Ooo Stacy, I have some Topo Chico sitting around just waiting for this! Thanks for the recipes! P.s. editing was great 😂👍

We have wild elderberries all over Oregon and Washington here. I will try this for sure.

Great video!!! Doug & Stacy, do you have a video about growing elderberry? (Best soil, watering, ect.) If not, bring Terry back to talk more. Thanks! Love the educational videos on growing and food preps!

I saw this on his website. You can download specific growing instructions. www.riverhillsharvest.com/growers

The easiest plant, you trow it and it grows . her roots grow around and it is very difficult to control, but a very healthful medicinal flower and seeds.

[@carmenchaux67]

To explain more about Elderberry: From one plant the roots go underneath and mew trees would be growing all the places around it. The best way when you have a big yard is to diversify, it is good to plant many fruit trees and anything that is edible but healthy. Also, knowing how big are the trees. Look for ideas in a video “A complete guide to vertical gardening” It would give you ideas for fences and utilization of the resources available.

I am SO hooked on watching your videos. I learn so much!!

[@managomez9708]

Yessuh!!!!! I’ve come across your channel today and this is the second I’m on so far. New subscriber for sure after just two ☺️ I drink homemade elderberry daily and 4x daily when sick. Makes it so much shorter. I’m so happy to come across some new like minded people. 🙌🏻
