Planted these in Winter 2020, finally seeing some buds.

Lovely! Do you have any plans for the fruit once it's ready?

It depends on how much we save from the birds and our extended family. If there is any left we will sell jam from them at our farmers market booth.

What other idea do you have?

I've actually never worked with elderberries myself before, but I do like elderberry syrup. Jam sounds tasty too!

I like to make syrup and liqueur with dried elderflower, and I've wondered about planting some of my own to get fresh flowers and fruit.
