Growing elderberry trees - TN Nursery #garden #gardening #homesteading #growyourownfood #gardentips

Hey everyone, it's Bailey with TN Nursery, and today I'm showing you some elderberry trees. Now we're a bare root plant nursery, so we sell bare root dormant trees. And you can see here's our elderberry right here, and you can see we trim the tops. Now we prune nearly every tree we have before shipping it because it encourages healthy root growth, and you care more about that root than you do the top of your plant when it comes time for growing. The top of it don't matter. It's the roots that really matter. And you can see the buds coming out all over these that are do— they'll do just fine. Look, all the buds coming out at the bottom. Elderberry is one of those shrubs that needs to be in every yard because it makes a perfect privacy screen. The berries, you can make syrups and teas and immune support remedies. They've been used for hundreds of years by doing that. They attract wildlife. They attract rare and beneficial pollinators. They've been used in medicines for hundreds and hundreds of years. It produces fruit nearly right away. By about after they reach about 2 years old, they'll start producing fruit. These are about a year old, so they may have a few flower clusters on them this year.
