The white clusters of elderflowers appear about two months before berries ripen for harvest.
Hardwood cuttings can be propagated during the “quiet” season, when you are not busy with other tasks in the garden

Softwood cuttings should be taken from this year’s growth. This green branch that is starting to turn woody is an ideal candidate. Harvest those berries first, though.

Woody stems are good for rooting, but these small bushes growing up as side shoots make excellent transplants. Since they are already rooted, if watered well they will take easily.
While elderberries don’t need pruning to fruit, they will be less productive as the stems get older.

Propagating and planting elderberries is a lot easier than you might think. These elderberries were propagated from dormant cuttings stuck right into the ground without prior rooting.
