❓The most frequently asked question in my inbox this week:
🌿 What is the best way to prune elderberry for the best yield?
Here are our general guidelines:

🦫 One purpose of pruning is to make sure your elderberry bush does not grow so tall that the flowers and fruit are out of reach and to keep the bush in a state of good health. Prune yearly in winter while the bush is dormant, starting in the 2nd year. Prune back at least 30% but you can take off up to 80%. It’s popular to cut back to 1-2 ft of height. If you’re in a shorter growing season, prune taller so the fruit ripens earlier.

🦫 A second purpose of pruning is to renew the bush! You will know you need to prune your elderberry bush more than you did last year when you notice branches that have died back - or there are not a lot of strong, new branches (or primocanes) that grew this growing season

This was in October during our final elderberry picking for the year. For the past last two years, we've were blessed to have each of our dads help us finish the berry season. We're so grateful for all the friends and family who help make our little elderberry grove such a beautiful place to be

You asked for more and so a new size is now available: 1lb dry elderflowers. My favourite way to enjoy elderflower is as a tea but you can also make cordials or add to baking

After planting thousands of elderberry cuttings over the years, we know that fall is the ideal time to prepare for cuttings you will plant next spring. Even if you're just planning to grow a few bushes in your front yard, consider choosing your site now and preparing the area to be w**d free. Figure out how you will provide consistent water and all this will go a long way to your success in growing elderberries next spring.

For those farmers planning to plant a bunch of cuttings, ensuring the area is w**d free (consider laying down woven w**d barrier) and setting up irrigation (like drip lines) now. With all the prep done in the fall, you can plant first thing in early spring - frost is fine - and this ensures best success for rooting your cuttings.

With over 30 varieties of elderberry growing at our little farm in Salmon Arm, BC, we like to say we're pretty enthusiastic about elderberry. Some current favourite varieties are Ranch, York and Goodbarn. If you want to try growing elderberries but you don't know which varieties to try, don't fret - we offer the "let us select based on your shipping address'' option on our website.

Pre-Order your elderberry cuttings starting November 1st and shipping begins in February 2026. Tips on starting elderberry cuttings is included with each order.

We know growing our own elderflowers and elderberries is so rewarding so we wish you so much success growing your own!
