Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Prefers moist, acidic soil of forest or shade garden. Elderberries are best placed as an understory to a higher tree canopy. Will also grow in full sun if the roots are kept cool and moist. It's probably a good idea to grow 3 trees for pollination purposes.
Planting & Growing: Soak seeds for up to 2 weeks in pure cold water in a jar in the fridge before planting. Do not be alarmed if seeds float–floating elderberry seeds are viable! Sow soaked seeds in outdoor conditions, in pots or flats, in the fall and expect germination in the spring. Alternatively, you may store the seeds in moist medium in a sealed plastic bag or jar in the refrigerator (not the freezer) for 90 days, then remove from fridge and sow in cool, moist shade. Outdoor conditions are preferred–do not try to grow indoors in a bright window–oscillating temperatures are required. Sow seeds in very rich and composty soil medium. Grow out in a shaded place in pots for a year before transplanting to final location.
Harvesting & Storage: Flowers generally appear in year 3. Flowers turn rapidly into heavy clusters of fruits. Harvest seed in the fall months. Other parts of plant are considered poisonous.
