Hi John! Thanks for being here to answer questions! We just got some land and are looking at planting elderberries somewhere. We're in North Texas and the cleared part of our land is the highest point of the land plus the north and northwest side of the hill on the downslope. The difference between the top of the hill and the bottom of the hill is about 10 feet on the north side and 20 feet on the northwest side. The rest of the property is wooded. I've heard that elderberries need lots of water and a southern exposure. My thoughts at this point are to plant on the north side anyway, as water can be more easily directed down to that area than the top of the hill. Thanks for any advice you can give!
