I was just gifted two elderberry vines (one Adams and one Johns variety), but I also already have two healthy black raspberry plants growing in my backyard. I read somewhere that black raspberries should be planted at least 300 feet away from any wild berry bushes on account of the possibility of disease spreading between them. I am wondering whether this information also applies to the relationship between elderberry and black raspberry, as my yard is not large enough to accommodate a 300' distance between them. Would it be potentially detrimental to the black raspberries if I planted the elderberries in my backyard?
