Overview
A superb hybrid berry is a cross between a blackberry, loganberry, dewberry and raspberry!
It is vigorous and a prolific cropper. The fruit is round to oblong in shape and dark purple in colour, they have a unique flavour that combines the tartness for good old-fashioned wild blackberries with a sweet hint of raspberry. The berries can be eaten fresh or used for jams or pie fillings. Boysenberries are undemanding, disease/drought resistant and extremely easy to grow. Harvest from July to September. Self fertile.
Height & Spread: 2m (6ft) x 2.5m (8ft).
