Hello growers!  I'm in the middle of pruning my little elderberry nursery.  I grow a newer variety called "Marge".  Marge are drought resistant,
disease resistant, don't run, biggest berries of all cultivars.  The drought we had a few weeks in the summer of 2024 in Pa. didn't phase these girls!

You can buy them at my website.  https://elderwolfgardens.com/
They will be fresh cut.  Keep drinking your syrup!

So what is your idea for the cuttings?

At least put them in water to root is mine.

Hi Anne!  You can stick them in the ground now if its not frozen.  Or yes you can nurse until spring with fresh water.

I have experience with cutting, though not elderberry.

I know some tree cuttings can be just stuck in the ground. My experience with that have only been poplar trees.

Here are some thread that might help you or others:

I agree with the one person in that thread about using sand in your soil mix.  But if you have acceptable soil you can stick them right in the ground now.

Nice web site!
We have only a variety with small  berries that run rampant.

Big berries and drought resistant sounds great!
