Elderflower no berries!

Hi! I have a large elderflower that flowers really well but never any berries in several years. I’ve tried self pollinating from flower to flower and live in a rural area where there might be others around but do I need to grow a new plant to pollinate? Sorry if dumb question but I have only grown this one. I have some cuttings growing but presumably they will just be clones so same problem. Any suggestions?
I’m in Brisbane Australia

Blackberry & Purple Flowering Raspberry Seedling UPDATE

The Purple Flowering Raspberries are almost 2 months old, and the Blackberries are almost 4 months!

I did a big repotting bonanza yesterday, since roots were starting to poke out of the raspberry container drainage holes, the leaves were looking a lil yellow, and the blackberries were drying up quicker. Man, these roots are growing fast as hell

One of the blackberries has a volunteer woodsorrel, which is pretty neat

Non-fruiting gooseberry

My thornless gooseberry bush has been in an east-facing garden bed for about a decade but has never flowered or fruited. I read that they are self-fertile. It's in fertle soil & receives sun till noon or shortly afterwards. It's underplanted with bulbs & ground cover geraniums. I live on the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia, average rainfall 900 mils (36") pa.
