Hippocrates called the Elder tree his “Medicine Chest”.  A wealth of folk-lore, romance and superstition center around the elderberry.

Elderberries are one of the easiest and most versatile shrubs to grow in your edible landscape. These Central European and North American natives are often found growing wild along roadsides, forest edges, and abandoned fields. The prize for growing elderberries is the fragrant, edible flowers and the delicious fruits. The dark purple berries contain vitamins A and B, and more vitamin C than oranges. They are also high in cancer-fighting antioxidants. In fact, elderberry fruits have historically been used to treat many ailments, such as respiratory problems, colds, and flu. Plus, they are tasty when used in juices, jellies, jams, teas, pies, and wine. You can use the umbrella-shaped, elderberry blossoms for making a delicious fritters or even champagne and if you don’t want to eat the berries, the birds certainly will love them.

  2. Elderberries are easy to grow. They can be grown from cuttings or root divisions. They really want to grow and will multiply on their own plus birds love em. You can order cuttings or pants from us directly on the nursery page.

  9. I am so happy to have found your postings at elderberries.com and, from there, this wonderful site about your company. I love the elder trees and, long ago, as a child, it was my turn for a few weeks in May-June to pick up their splendid flowers.

    In the discussion at elderberries.com, where you also contributed, someone asked advice about making an essence of elderflower oil. I posted yesterday a question, but I felt that you might know much more on this subject and direct comments here would be more helpful.

    I am interested in buying an essence of elderflower oil (like RoseWater, for example) to use it in drinks and deserts. Do you happen to know where could I buy now online such a product? My google search was not too revealing, so I felt I need to turn to the experts.

    The St Germain reference that you gave at elderberry.com is indeed great, yet they seem to be using such an essence to flavor their own liquor. This is because the supplies are rather limited and available for just a few weeks and then the extraction process does not seem to be simple at all.

    Also, since you mentioned this in your post, please tell me when and how do you supply the elderflowers? Do you freeze them, do you sell them dry, do you sell them in season? And how large is actually your elderberry farm?

    And at last, related to another post herein, how long would it take to have the elder tree flowering if I start with the seeds, rather than with the roots and cuttings?

    Any helpful advice on these is very much appreciated. My best wishes,

    Liana

    • John, good question. Elderberries are very easy to grow and will tolerate
      soil PH of 5.5-7.5. They love good organic matter and thrive with a little
      TLC. They are very easy to propagate from cuttings or division. A great
      project for 4-H and FFA. Let me know how I can help.
