How do you transplant elderberries?
Elderberries sucker freely, so they are very easy to transplant. In the spring, after the ground has thawed, cut the plants down to either about one third their height if they're over three feet tall, or to about eight or ten inches if they're smaller, then dig up as large a root ball as you can. Prepare the soil where you are going to plant the transplant by digging a hole twice as big as the root ball you dug up around the old plant. Fill the hole with water and make a note of how long it takes for the water to drain. That whill help you understand how much to water in the future. Mix some well-rotted compost with the native soil in the hole, then back fill until the hole is small enough to accomodate the root ball. Put the root ball in the soil, back fill all around the plant, stepping firmly around the crown to make sure the root ball won't tilt as it settles. Water regularly, being careful to allow the top inch or so of soil to dry out between waterings. You may not see much growth the first year as the plants are getting established, and the next spring the plants might look a bit feeble, but be patient, and they'll take off soon.

Can elderberry be used as a necklace for babies teething?
First Answer - No, I certainly would not recommend it. Elderryberry blossoms and berries are edible, but even they can cause nauseau if not cooked. Leaves and stems are considered poisonous.
Amended answer - The person above obviously didn't check their facts first. Elderberries can be very dangerous if ingested without cooking them first because they contain traces of cyanide, one of the deadliest poisons in existence. While the quantities present won't necessarily kill you, they can certainly give you a bad case of nausea and diarrhea. The same thing applies to the leaves and blossoms...they are edible...when cooked. The plant does exhibit some fairly potent anti-inflammatory properties due to its high antioxidant content and, yes, you can cut up the stems into pieces and make a necklace for a teething baby. It works (my family has done it for at least three generations) and there are also several lab studies that support this evidence.
