Plant history & use:

'Buckingham Tayberry' is a thornless variety with smooth, flat leaves that produces plenty of tasty berries.

The tayberry bush produces large, flavorful and juicy burgundy berries that are perfect for eating straight away - but also for making juice, jam and even wine.

Another good way to use tayberries is to bake a tayberry pie.

Like other hybrids, Tayberry also shows good resistance to plant diseases.

Culture:

Preferably grow in well-drained, humus-rich soil in a warm, sunny location. Does not do well in heavy clay soils, dry, sandy soils or waterlogged areas.

The tayberry bush has inherited its long and slender branches from the blackberry and therefore works excellently to be grown climbing in a pergola, against a wall or similar. The development and health of the bush is generally benefited by some type of support for the branches.

The berries ripen from mid-July to late August. Berries are formed on branches that are at least 2 years old.
