Edible landscaping with elderberries? Yay or nay?
Interesting article! I've been thinking about adding some elderberries to my yard. They're beautiful and the flowers are amazing for tea. Anyone here tried growing them?
Elderberries are a superfood! I use them in my smoothies all the time. Landscaping with them sounds smart - saves money on supplements too. Just make sure you cook them raw ones can be toxic.
I'd be cautious. Aren't elderberries hard to grow? Plus, what about pests? I don't want to attract unwanted bugs near my house. Anyone have experience with that?
I love the idea! Low maintence plants that give you tasty berries? Sign me up. My elderberry bush has been going strong for 2 years with minimal care. Just needs sun and water.
Good point about cooking, Noah. And HealthHacker, I've read they're pretty tough plants. I might try them in a container first. Thanks for the tips everyone!
