A cross between a Blackberry and a Raspberry the Tayberry produces its fruit from early July until mid August. Like the Loganberry leave to ripen on the canes until dark red. Large, long sweet fruits up to 5cm long. The canes are moderately vigorous and quite prickly.
Being a hybrid they are vigorous so plant 4-5m apart. The Tayberry not sucker like raspberries. Each year from the parent plant basal shoots will grow that will fruit the following year. Fruiting should be underway within a couple of years of planting. Prune to ground level the canes that have fruited to leave room for the new canes, that will bear fruit the next year, to develop into.
Very manageable plants – no suckering and heavy cropping successionally for well over a month. A good alternative to raspberries. They may well succeed where raspberries do not even on allotments where the unknown history of the site makes it difficult for them to succeed. Growing into sturdy, robust plants they are likely to be productive for 10+ years.
The other Hybrid berry we offer is the Loganberry which has similar fruits. Non organic plants.
