Elderberry cuttings or plants

Timbotide · December 2, 2012

I am looking for some Elderberry cuttings or plants. Does anyone have any to spare? Maybe we could work out a trade or something.

There are some wild ones not too far from me, but they are dormant right now. I don't know how well they would keep until time to plant?

I'm not sure when would be the best time to plant Elderberry plants.
Now is the time we plant strawberries and Blackberry plants in zone 7.

they would do better planted when they are dormit also you get a better crop when you plant 2 different types to cross polinate.

I have an elderberry plant. Got it two years ago. No berries the first year, and last year, it had lots of flowers, then berries, but well, the birds at most of them. I could try to send you a few cuttings if you think they would root. The plant is definately dormant right now, lol...covered in snow!
