Short and sweet- so helpful, thank you!
Absolutely! 😊
I've put cuttings directly in the soil without removing lowest bud/leaves and got a 60-70% success rate on Vancouver Island. Thanks for sharing as these are some of the healthiest plants around, easy to propagate and grow so fast and produce fast.
Awesome! They really are hardy plants.
All you have to do is let the roots run and they'll take over whatever area they're in. I had one bush that I tilled around and then applied mushroom compost and mulched then those things took off came spring.
Yes, also whatever seeds they drop will multiply pretty easily. I take cuttings if I want to get them started in a new area, or have some to gift to friends and even to sell. Lots of ways that propagating cuttings can be helpful to folks. 😉
Thank Youuuuuu so Much !! ❤ Your video looking forward to check others by you , Thanks again !
💗💗💗 Glad you like it! I try to keep any of my how to type videos short and sweet. 😊 The more tour type ones can get a little long winded. 😆
Arizona, we have tree elderberries, S. Mexicana. I have one. Last year was very bad with smoke blowing in from Cali fires, no monsoons, and so on, and one died. Thanks for the video. I hope the last one thrives here, and I can take cuttings. Right now, grape cuttings, figs, pomegranate and so on are all (God willing) rooting. I was told, root in the dark. In the light, if leaves come on, it steals nutrients from the stem needed to root. nnio
Interesting about rooting in the dark! It makes sense!! I hope your elderberry survives and you are able to take some cuttings from it!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞
That's amazing. I didnt know you could propagate them in that way. Good information! Thank you!
Yes! So easy, and fun to watch the roots start growing when you do it this way. 😊
Do you have any cuttings we can purchase
You don't have to stone in your window seal, just cut a piece of plywood and tile the surface and or then add the stone. I will be a "stone insert" you can make lots of things this way that are removable and do not damage.
Great idea! I actually have moved to a new place so I never got to try that in the window but I will keep that in mind if I decide to do that here!
@@WildOnesHomestead I have built tons of things this way. Its pretty cool to do a fireplace platform this way too. You can move your faux fireplace and it looks like its built in :O) thank you for your idea too my cuttings are already rooting! Merry Christmas! p.s. you could actually use one inch tiles with a lip that you can wipe and keep your flowers from getting your ledge wet too if you keep seedlings there often. I have a friend that makes countertops using broken teacups.
Unfortunately I have to sell my property and move in town, but I will still live off the land and be as self reliant as I can...I will be taking some elders along, wherever that may be....
New sub! Thank you for sharing
Yes take them with you!!! I moved to a new homestead about a year and a half ago, I dug up 13 elderberry plants (some rather large) and they all survived!!
I love the stone idea, a lot of function also, very creative!!
How to Grow Elderberry Plants .. always happy to see you garden .. looks very fun ..
Great info & demonstration 👍 We just started several ourselves. Happy growing!!
How did yours turn out?
Thanks for sharing dear friend..informative upload
Amazing my friend! Thank you and have a nice weekend!😊👍11
You too! 🥰
I like the flat stones on the windowsill! 👍🏽
🥰
@@WildOnesHomesteaddid you do that so it will be warmer on the sill? The stones will hold heat overnight.
@JaneDoe-ft8sz nope I just liked the more rustic look of it!
They grow from seeds easily. Just set some seeds in some tree leave compost outdoor in winter. They will start germinating spring.
Oh yes! I never collect all the berries,
and I usually get several new sprouts in the spring from the berries that dropped.
We got one elderberry bush, this is a great video. The missus likes the rocks on the window sill. I've got some granite and plan to copy cat that idea.
Thank you!! Glad someone likes the window. 🤣😅
Almost all the bushes here in my zone are just waking up. I might have some luck with this. Wow that second to last one really had great roots!
Yes that is the perfect time to do it!! Go give it a try, so fun. 😁
Great Job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Those did really well. We will have to try this next year. We want to get some from east of the mountains to grow on our side (west).
Elderberries do absolutely fabulous there!! (We lived in Elbe, had 100s of them!)
BTFUL PLANTS TNX DEAR
LKED AND FULL SUPRT FOR U
Thank you so much! 🥰
Nice Very Nice...
😁
That was pretty cool. I will need to try this. I wonder if it will work on other types of fruit trees.
That's great 👍😁
Thanks!
Thanks for showing all the steps so helpful! How did they turn out once you potted them up? Did all survive?
I lost a few of them but most did really well!
@@WildOnesHomestead great! I have mine in water now! Thank you so much!
@@christiethomas6905how did yours turn out?
What time a year is best to do it?
Early spring just as the leaves start to bud. Though elderberry are pretty hardy I wouldn't be shocked if you could make it work later in the season too
what time of year did you cut them?
In the spring, when the buds start to form but before they leaf out. I have heard of people doing it other times of year as well with mixed success.
This works for other tree cuttings as well, right?
I'm not sure if it works for *all* trees and the time of year that is best probably varies, but I would definitely say it is worth giving it a shot if it is something you want more of!!
If he doesn't like it he can do the damn dishes then!
🤣😂🤣😂 I love you. He can and now has to. Not my problem anymore, moved on and up since then. Yay for life progress! 🙌
Can you do this in september and plant them in fall time? The Netherlands is zone 8a/8b I think. So could it work?
You just need to do it before the leaves start to open or just after on the nee growth. If you wait too long the stems get too hard and chances of success are a lot less. It may still work, but I've never tried so im unsure.
I didn’t have any luck in water 😩
Oh no, I have seen people snip them and stick them straight into some soil and have them take root! If that doesn't work, I'd try dipping the sliced end in some rooting hormone.
I'd say the biggest thing for success really is the time of year when you snip them, too!
@@WildOnesHomestead I haven’t given up trying to get a start!
@tatteberry73 good!! Elderberry really are incredibly hardy so you can do it!! I've moved all my (BIG) plants around several times and haven't lost one. Had a little die back from branches but that's it. 😅
