How to grow hundreds of Elderberry plants in two square feet. Here are all the items I use to grow plants from seed on Amazon:
Step 1. Get a packet of elderberry seeds, pour onto a folded damp paper towel.
Step 2. Fold over that damp paper towel so that the seeds are in the middle.
Step 3. Place that paper towel in a ziplock plastic bag, seal it and write the name of the seeds and date your put them in the fridge on the plastic bag.
***Note - You do not want too much water in the bag (mold), if you were to squeeze the paper towel, you might get a few drops or so.
Step 4. Keep that bag in the fridge for ~6 months, after a few months check on the seeds, if they start sprouting, they are ready to plant.
Step 5. Place those sprouting elderberry seeds in a tray with soil, lightly cover the seeds and make sure they don't dry out.
Step 6. When they get 2 initial leaves, you can pot them into bigger pots.
I happened to grow out these plants initially using a Kingbo LED light before spring, then transferred them to the greenhouse to finish them off.
