Description
The tayberry is a hybrid of blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) and raspberry (Rubus idaeus) that produces long, wine‑red fruits with an aromatic, sweet‑tart flavor. It grows as a climber and requires a trellis or support structure. The nearly thornless canes make harvesting a pleasant experience.
Care instructions
Plant the tayberry in autumn (October, week 43) in a sunny, sheltered spot and tie the long canes to a trellis. It bears on two‑year‑old wood, after harvesting, cut away the spent canes and train the young ones for the following year. Mulch well and water regularly during the fruiting period from July onward.
