That is excellent information thank you!

Hi John, seeing this topic up here is such a coincidence because last spring I almost accidentally ordered 2 elderberry bushes with my blueberries. They did fine until October when the deer ate the bush right down to the soil.
This year I ordered 6 more and I am much more intentional about wanting Elderberries. Our soil is pure sand and I am mixing some manure peat moss and compost to everything I plant. We have bees which I understand are happy to be pollinated by and provide a high quality pollen for the bees.
My question is what is the best mix for my soil to get the best outcome. Also I have read partly shaded and then in another thread I have read full sun.
I am Canada planting zone 4B.
Thanks a heap! Looking forward to reading your book!

Thank you that is excellent information. We have 5 acres and a hillside that I would like to plant on.
I noticed there seems to be lots of variety. I think I recognize them on the roadside. I will go out looking this weekend!

thanks S Drone, I know where Richters is actually! I will order from them! thanks!!

we moved there for the rapids. love it. Glad you had a good time canoeing. Message me if you ever come back.

Amazon won’t mail to Canada for the sunchoke tubers. Already checked. I don’t know anyone who has them I am just driving by and thinking that they look like them. I think maybe the high grocery store might be the best option. I have never seen them before but maybe I wasn’t really looking. If I can get my hands on one or two I know that I would be all set! 😀

I am looking for some sunchoke flower tubers to plant on my property for both my bees and me. I can’t find any place that will shop them. I am in Ontario Canada. I see them growing around in people’s yards.. at least I think that is what they are.
