ONE Elderberry GIANT - no secret, just grow the Bob Gordon Elderberry

The Bob Gordon Elderberry grows VERY vigorous. Heavy, thick plant 10+ feet tall and well over 20 feet round in only 3 years. Our self-made soil and the location are factors but Elderberries are an easy-to-grow fruiting plant. Planting elderberries, pruning them and harvesting is easy. And NO pests or disease.
We compare the Johns Elderberry to the Bob Gordon. Both are cultivars of the American Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis). We also grow the European species (Sambucus nigra), and North American natives, the Blue Elderberry (Sambucus mexicana) and Red (Sambucus racemosa).

Elder berry benefits are mixed. A LOT of benefits are touted online but the evidence is thin. For example, travelers using elderberry syrup from 10 days before travel until 4-5 days after arriving overseas on average experienced a 2-day shorter duration of the cold and also noticed a reduction in cold symptoms.

ONE plant - just one Bob Gordon Elderberry. she was only 5 foot tall plant in 2020! no fertilizer - just great soil! not all Elderberry are equal. this Bob Gordon is far more vigorous than the Johns. both are in the American Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) family. we also grow the European species (Sambucus nigra), and North American natives, the Blue Elderberry (Sambucus mexicana) and Red (Sambucus racemosa). but no Elderberry grows like the Bob Gordon!

Just got a half dozen Bob Gordon and the same of Adams, looks like the early Johns sounds like what I need.

Thanks for heads up on the Bob Gordon 🙏

glad the vid helped; yup, side-by-side, the once little Bob Gordon is overwhelmingly huge, compared to the Johns. i'm planting a rare Red and Blue Elderberry far from the garden, along a stream bank. just don't know how crazy they'll grow! thanks for stopping by, plz subscribe, and see you in the garden! 🐞

Thank you for this video. I bought a bob gordon and johns to plant. This made me change the location I originally had planned on. Great info, 6:39 and thanks for the visuals.

great timing on your part! i'm in the process of removing masses of bob gordon roots out; game-planning how to contain it to its area; VERY risky placing this plant in the middle of a garden with organically rich soil. the johns spread a little. BUT, it may not be a cultivar issue too. so be aware. if i were to plant them again, they'd be on the margin of a garden. that's my $0.02.

Great look at elderberry, the rampant Bob Gordon in particular. Deer would keep the suckers and bush trimmed back, ironically. Though it can be a battle to get bushes established in the first place where deer are.

Damn deer :). They tore the place up (probably don't need to tell u). Thanks for stopping by! pete moss

I need a "big ass" screen. My american black elderberry grew from bareroot purchased from cold stream nursery in MI. Dont know cultivar. Not too vigorous. Planting lots of cuttings - can pull some if too many.

@heppylifestyle 2 ай бұрын

gonna need an upgrade on that screen 🤣 because i didn't do what i said i'd do ... and she's bigger and wider! some are not vigorous -- our Johns seem 'normal'. the Bob Gordan is ... a big ass plant 😂

Wondering what variety will flower at same time for cross pollination. Any ideas?

@heppylifestyle 2 ай бұрын

The Johns flowers at about the same time, and that's all I can sincerely speak to. More info and resources are here, heppy.org/elderberry. Enjoy!

I have 2yr old John, Adam, negra elderberry plants. It has been growing strong. However,recently I found out something has eaten up most of the leaves. How do I stop this? thank you !

@heppylifestyle Ай бұрын

@alhambra119 i'm sorry to hear that. you'll have to identify the critter, eg, type of insect. my Elderberry have no predation so i haven't looked further. on the other hand, i set-up a game cam to ID the critter eating Mulberry leaves. a squirrel 🥴😧
