Tayberry plant
Raithby, WC
A one year old tayberry plant in a 3L shrub pot
The Tayberry is a cross between the Blackberry and Red Raspberry plants with all the good qualities of the original genus such as the large fruit size, fruit firmness and vigorous growth of the blackberry, with the great taste and colour of the red raspberry.

A trellis or a fence can be used to support the growing branches which can grow up to 3m long.
Submerge the pot in water for 10 minutes before transplanting.
