Making Elderberry Cuttings

How to properly cut your elderberries to make cuttings.

[@tammytamz3046]

I just found you when googling how to propagate my elderberry’s! This was so helpful! Ps. What kind of shares are you using?

[@bigair4041]

If I am going to take the cuttings from the field and put them immediately inside in potting soil (to leaf out and prepare for spring planting) should I still do the 3 step sanitizing process you mention?

HI Terry--thanks for another great video! On the disinfectant--should the peroxide and AVC both be used full strength?

[@beckyteske4416]

Would these grow in central Wisconsin?

I am so glad that I was able to purchase some of your Pocahontas cuttings. I got 100% success with them rooting. You guys are the best!

You are so welcome!

What is dormant oil, is there one you recommend ?

[@jeffmeyers3837]

I was wondering the same thing. What a dummy for telling us to use something then not explaining what it is or how to get it.

What time of year in Mo do you prune your elderberry?

[@kimberlynorman8058]

I want to order from you

[@michaelbessette8685]

Do you plant these in rows as well or prefer beds?
