Propagated by Rudolph Boysen in America, this is a truly wonderful hybrid berry that produces heavy crops of juicy black fruits that taste like a blackberry only sweeter - reminiscent of an old fashioned bramble and is a cross between a Loganberry and a Blackberry.
From our experience this is the most adaptable of the hybrid berries for climate and soil, proving to be both drought resistant and hardy. The habit of the plant is strong and vigorous and cropping is huge - fantastic in every way!
Boysenberries grow in a very similar way to blackberries and therefore are best if they have something to 'ramble' them up or over, you could use trellis, wires, a fence or anything else suitable to control the growth.
These were featured on the BBC Great British Garden Revival presented by Alys Fowler - who came to see us in the Summer to talk about all sorts of berries, and this just happened to be one of her favourites!
- Harvest from late July.
- Plant 5 - 8 feet (1.5 - 2.4 metres) apart.
- Best supported with wires or trellis.
- Self Fertile.
