We all know the Blackberry (or Bramble) growing wild in the UK in hedgrerows and uncultivated places that produce small fruits. From these wild relatives have come cultivated varieties with larger fruits and some that are thornless.
Hybrid berries – the Tayberry & Loganberry – are a result of crossing various Rubus species including the Raspberry, Blackberry & Dewberry and are grown in a similar way to Blackberries.
We are offering some of these plants that are an excellent addition to any fruit garden. We do not grow Black & Hybrid berries ourselves but offer non organic plants.
Discount information – the following discounts apply on total order quantity – 5% on 5+, 10% on 10+. Carriage based on quantity – see the Delivery page for more details.
