Unlike the cultivated blackberry clones planted at the same time, this wonderful berry from Raintree Nursery has been a great provider of delicious June/July berries. It is a cross between a blackberry and raspberry (Rubus fruticosus x R. idaeus) and it is early and prolific for me most years. The canes are long and wiry with myriad small thorns along their length.
Tayberries have a mild flavor all their own, not particularly raspberry like or blackberry like.
My 2020 plan for these plants is to pot up some of the extra canes for plant sales or give-aways. Also, I will push some tip cuttings in late summer into pots to get them started easily for next year.
