Re: [nafex] Grafting/budding elderberry?
Trouble with grafting is that elderberries sucker a lot, and it's a good
idea to remove older shoots regularly and keep the bush renewed with the
newer shoots. With a grafted one, you don't have any new shoots from the
base of the plant that will renew the variety, unless you continually graft
it on the newer shoots. Much easier to have an own-rooted plant.
