Start your food forest today! I grow elderberry, variety Adam throughout my food forest. Unlike the elder variety “nigra”, which grow into trees, these elder plants retain a smaller bush like structure. In my food forest, left unpruned they reach a max height of around 2 metres. However, I do tend to give them a good trim- almost down to ground level in winter. I grow elder for the flowers (elderflower champagne), and also for the berries (elderberry syrup is the best for winter chills and colds). They are also a very attractive looking plant.
This auction is for 1 elderberry cutting.
Get the cutting in the ground and you will be harvesting flowers and berries in the summer. Not kidding- even as cuttings they were still producing flowers and berries in their first year!
See my website www.tinuifoodforest.co.nz for full growing instructions.
Please note: Because successful rooting depends upon your skills, mother nature, and a variety of other factors we can't control, we will include a couple of extra cuttings with each order to help you be successful with your rooting efforts. We offer NO guarantees with our cuttings.
You are always welcome to pick the plants up yourself.
