Elderberry cuttings
Elderberry are a very easy plant to root from dormant cuttings. Research now shows that only a top set of leaf nodes are necessary for rooting dormant elderberry cuttings. To root these dormant cuttings, first create a weed free garden bed in Spring or Fall when plants are dormant, then stick each cutting 3/4 of the way into the soil with the buds facing up, then mulch. If planting in a nursery bed, you can space them around 5-10 inches letting them get established for the growing season before transplanting to their forever home. If planting as a hedge, we recommend planting around 4 feet or more apart, depending on your goals. Zone 4 hardy.
