If anyone would like to try some Elderberry, I have plenty of extra cuttings that I'm happy to send out for postage or trade (preferably). Thanks for all those that have sent cuttings, hope to offer some fig cuttings of my own soon.

I use our native Sambucus Canadensis to make what my kid's call "dad's constitutional"....elder berries extracted in vodka, berries screened out and composted, then the liquid sweetened with honey. I'm going with it being antiviral during cold and flu season. One can never be too safe!Greg, Maine, zone 5. Wish List: Green Michurinska

I also have a variegated cultivar and Black Beauty and Black Lace. Beautiful plants. All are Sambucus nigra.
Speaking of infusing vodka. I just infused some for New Years with Raspberries from my garden.

I thought because of the trace amounts of a cyanide related chemical, that elderberries should be cooked? I grow European elderberries, all my plants are fairly young. I use them both for fruit production and ornamental reasons. For fruit I have the new cultivars from Denmark. Samdal and Samyl. You prune these like summer bearing raspberries.
