Trimming a WAY Overgrown Elderberry & Climbing Roses!
video description
That shrub propagated itself for you. Yay, a free plant! When I first started gardening years and years ago, I would pin the branch of a shrub to the ground, cover it with soil (pinned down with a rock, keep that section of the pinned-down branch well-watered, and in about a year, roots will have formed on the new shrub.
However, if that shrub is patented, you can't propagate it. If the patent has expired, you could sever the new plant off of the old one and plant it elsewhere. Have a wonderful week, stay hydrated, and take breaks if you plan on working in the garden. Margie

What a transformation! I love the elderberry and it's new shape. The view through the arbors is delightful. The path takes your eye to rest on that glorious willow in the back. Perfection! You constantly give me inspiration and courage to tackle things in my own garden. I have gardened for decades, but you have taught this old gal many new tricks! I am thinking of your Mom and sending good thoughts for patience and a speedy recovery. There must be nothing worse than having to stay off your feet when you feel fine, especially if you are a busy lady like your mom.

What variety of elderberry is that? Two seasons ago I planted 3 elderberries, 2 black lace and an instant karma. They re growing, but slowly. The IK is still very small but I m thrilled that it s even alive since I stepped on it at least twice last year! I want the BL to grow that big to fill in space but am now having second thoughts about where I put the IK. Poor thing, do I dare move it! I LOVE the look of elderberries.

Hi Laura quick question - I let my climbing roses go without any pruning for a couple of years and now they are wild. Can I cut them all the way to the ground (rejuvenation prune, is that what it's called) and hope they will survive? :D i would love to be able to start over with them and train them into a nice shape. Thanks so much! Lots of love all the way from Poland!

Curious if any other commenters have grown supertunia vista -whatevers- in a more humid climate. Mine are struggling and I'm not sure if its the oppresive heat or the humidity or the plants just hate me. I'm about to pull up one to try to save it by putting it in a pot, but I dont know how successful that will be. Open to tips or tricks! Thanks all!

Hi Laura, I have a Lemony Lace Elderberry that's doing really well! It's full size every year and we enjoy where it is. I heard lately that they don't last more than 5 years in our area which is disappointing, but have you had that same experience with either the Black lace or lemony lace varieties? I'm in Zone 5 Western Ontario, CA.

Just curious how training the elderberry into more of a tree form will change how you cut it back in the spring. Still hip high, just fewer branches to trim? Did it grow bigger than what the tag said? I have two Little Henry Sweetspires that were supposed to be 3x3 and are now at least 5 foot tall! Fortunately they have the space.

Hello Laura and Aaron, I have a black lace elderberry that I planted 3 years ago (I'm in zone 5b) and this year I have 2 branches that the leaves just wilted but the rest seems fine. I see no insects so not sure what is happening. Should I cut those branches off? I did call the nursery where I purchased it and they had no idea.
