hello Yvonne & Lynn, there are plenty of wild elderberry bushes around here so if there's no offers from anyone closer to you, am happy to take some cuttings for you, just pm me with your address & I'll post them

I am also looking for an elder bush. I'm in Napier and prepared to travel to Hastings for one.

I am looking for an elderberry bush. Does anyone have one that I can have a cutting from? I am in Dunedin.

I have 4 or 5 mature Chilean cranberry (Myrtus ugni) bushes that I'm going to dig up this winter if anyone wants them. They're about 50 cm high, evergreen, with large crops of edible berries. Can be shaped into a low hedge or border for the vege garden. I'm in Sydenham in Christchurch.

We've got heaps of chokos at the moment if anyone wants to plant a triffid. Great for covering VERY large ugly structures.

Looking for any berry cuttings as close to waiheke as possible, would love to hear from you or could pay for postage

Great, thanks Christie. You've got me sold as well - I'll try the normal berry bushes and see how it goes. A friend gave me some of their thornless blackberry so I thought I'd see about other thornless berries, on the off chance :)

i too have lots of dfferent berries and small children and they cope just fine. and it also means that there are some that they miss so i can go along behind them and get some too! but if you want no thorns then incredible edibles sells a thornless boysenberry (but doesn't produce as much fruit as my thorny ones), and i also have some black raspberries 'ebony' from them which don't have thorns. they have a trailing habit though so you need to have some wire/fence to string them up on.

Hi Kama, thanks for that! I might just have a go with the normal ones then and see how we get on. Just finished building our raised beds so all ready for plants now!
