Elderberry cuttings

[Megan]

These seem to be a very divisive plant, we either love or hate them.  For the former, I am happy to send cuttings in autumn to a local area group for distribution amongst anyone who wishes to have some.

Be warned, they can be very invasive and are considered weeds down south. However, elderflower cordial is wonderful and elderberry syrup is good for coughs.

Just send me a pm in autumn and I'll send a bundle of cuttings.

Hi - which Matt? I searched the ooooby site and found ten pages of Matts.

[Megan]

all you needed to do was scroll to the next page of this discussion to find Matt's full name and a link to his page :)

"When I do get around to sending them out, will send just one package to Matt Moir for folks in Auckland & another to Jordan in Hamilton."

When is the best time to take cuttings?

 

I have a couple of plants that I'd like to propogate along our fenceline, just don't want to jump the gun and take cuttings before the optimal time...

[Megan]

now is a good time - they usually take very easily, just choose pencil thick stems of previous season's growth.
