Care Instructions: A Simple Guide to a Bountiful Harvest
Elderberries are surprisingly low-maintenance once established. Follow these simple steps for success:
· Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade (at least 6 hours of sun per day for best berry production).
· Soil: Prefers moist, well-draining soil, but is adaptable. Amending the planting hole with compost will give it a great start.
· Watering: Water deeply 1-2 times per week after planting until established. Mature plants are somewhat drought-tolerant but produce best with consistent moisture.
· Pruning: For the healthiest plants and biggest harvests, prune in late winter while dormant. Remove any dead or weak canes and thin out older branches to encourage new growth (berries form on both new and old wood).
· Pro Tip: For a major berry harvest, plant a second elderberry nearby for cross-pollination!
Harvesting & Uses: From Garden to Kitchen & Apothecary
The true reward comes at harvest time! Berries are ready in late summer when they are deep purple-black and hang heavy in clusters.
Important: Elderberries must be cooked before consumption. Raw berries, leaves, and stems contain compounds that can cause stomach upset.
