In fact the interesting elderberries for picking are rare.
I find them at the bottom of the valley, not very deep water. Preferably young enough and sunny enough to have coarse grained clusters almost all ripened at the same time. The time window is quite short before the grains dry out or fall to the ground.

The tree in the photo, isolated in the plain, where I harvested 8 kg of bunches to make 4 kg of juice, was however old, trunk at least 30 cm in diameter.
Looking at it more closely, the branches must have been pruned 2 years before, hence its vigor I guess ...

Indeed, it is one of the annoyances of mine! I have to "sort". And there, the birds are gifted. In the evening, it was not ripe. In the morning, after my long coffee, it's too late!

Well, I always and again resist all attacks, mildew and others, despite being surrounded by colleagues whose foliage touches me bezeff and who are sick. I am Prévia HF1 or Belle de Lorraine. I currently measure almost 2 M and only receive a few liters of water per week, which suits me well. Every plant of my kind is super healthy, even the bottom leaves are still very green. I bear fruits that are not very big, between 20 and 30, that I hide as much as possible under my protective foliage.



Is she indoors or am I wrong ???


Yes.

Yet, 3 or 4 years ago, I made one of those elderberry liqueurs which was an absolute killer (for those who allow themselves a few drops of alcohol from time to time - I'm one of them!) ...


Do you have a slightly chalky terrain? The elderberry loves.

for those who allow themselves a few drops of alcohol from time to time - I am one of them!
+ 1. In 2021 I made quince liqueur, sloe liquor, Schwarzdorn, and old boy's liquor.
This year we have zero quinces, no sloes, no cherries / morello cherries. But as we do as your mom did, reserves for at least 2 years, we will not run out of fuel! But we made the K6 liquor.

Proof is that everything grows, when it wants, on extremely hard ground that has never been worked. I never sowed a seed there, you had to be crazy to do it. This winter squash plant is quite resilient.

It is the turn of the Belles de Boskoop to return to their winter storage. Of a good caliber, I hope they will hold together a max.
They are well suited to making pies.

One of my 2 Phylovita plants. The tomatoes ripen between 2m50 and 3m in height. This is the first time that this is so. It still continues to grow when almost all of its congeners have stopped growing.
The plant is multi-guyed because it is heavily loaded.

Outdoors this variety, Kongo, picked up the severe downy mildew quite early. But under cover I have 2 or 3 plants, she sparks and resisted everything.
Its fruits are now ripe, very good, firm, unusual in shape and dark pink in color.
The plants are also very productive.

It is the HF1 which you were surprised above that it was not resistant to mildew, I believe?

Like what, you have to choose the varieties according to the route ... (many "modern" varieties are made for greenhouses!)

A dry year, without mildew, it might also have sparked outdoors. Surely, even!

And by the way, not all HF1s are, contrary to legend, "disgusting"!

But if only we could find out when buying the seeds! Often, consumer = pigeon.
