Rubus fruticosus idaeus 'Tayberry' - organic fruit plant

Rubus 'Tayberry' – Tayberry

Rubus ‘Tayberry’ is a vigorous hybrid between raspberry and blackberry, combining the best qualities of both. The elongated red-purple fruits are larger than raspberries, juicy and intensely aromatic with a rich sweet-tart flavour. Perfect for fresh eating, jams, syrups, and desserts.

The plant produces long, flexible canes that require support along wires or a trellis. It is highly productive and well suited to home gardens.
