Pruning American Elderberry

Today I am pruning and getting ready to propagate my American Elderberry. I have two varieties, Johns Elderberry and Adams Elderberry.

Those are some pretty nice size Elderberry bushes. I expanded my berry section this year but I haven't gotten any Elderberry yet even though I am. Great info in this video. Thanks for sharing & let me know if you decide to share your cuttings please sir 😁

Thanks! I am selling a few of these cuttings this year, but only locally since I have them already potted with roots growing. Next year I may look at doing some bare root cuttings that can be shipped.

I've got cuttings growing in a pot. I'll divide them in spring. Not sure where I'll plant them permanently yet.

I put all these cuttings in a pitcher with some water for now. I'll transfer mine to pots after they develop some more growth and it gets warmer outside.

Apple seeds I think too. I try to pick them out before giving cores to my chickens. Is that over kill? Are Pies ok I've seen? I have only canned juice and tincture. I'm nervous about pruning

Yes apple seeds have traces of cyanide as well, and should always be removed before feeding apples to chickens. Elderberry pie is fine since the berries are cooked/baked. Don't be nervous! Established elderberries like a good pruning and will grow new shoots every year.
