where abouts you? I could tell you dozens of places in chch that you can get them. They also grow easily from seed and right now is the time to be picking berries.

The only thing with seed grown elderberry trees is one tree can have different tasting fruit to another next to it,nor sure if this makes any difference or not to the seedling

I wouldn't have thought so, to my knowledge elderberries have never been bred commecially, so unlikely to be any F1 hybrids amongst them.

Elderberries a very rampant!!! WE have been cutting them down around our place. I have however left two trees to collect berries from, if I can beat the birds.... I'm also happy to share cutting and or seed what ever you might like.
