Overview

Originating from the famous Knott’s Berry Farm in California, this superb hybrid berry is a complicated 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 fo good old-fashioned wild blackberries with a sweet hint of raspberry. The berries can be eaten fresh or used for bramble and apple jelly or pie fillings. Boysenberries are undemanding, disease/drought resistant and extremely easy to grow. Cropping season: July – September.  Self fertile.

Plant in an open sunny or lightly shaded spot. Prefers a moist but well-drained soil. Plant 1.5m (5ft) apart in rows 2m (6ft) apart. Soak the root-ball before planting. Plant in a hole twice the diameter of the root-ball or pot. Mix an organic soil improver and general fertiliser with the infill soil. Water regularly until established.

Fruit is produced on the previous years shoots. Tie in the new shoots – these will flower and fruit in the second year. Cut away all fruiting canes after harvest and replace them with the new vigorous shoots and the most vigorous of the older ones. Cut back weak and damaged shoots in Autumn. In Spring, apply a general fertiliser.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
