Tayberry Bush
In stock
Tayberries (Rubus Tayberry Group) are a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry, producing huge sweet ruby red berries even bigger than their cousins, loganberries.
A great gift for an allotment or for those who like to grow their own fruit, these tasty hybrid berries are known for their heavy cropping and extra large berries. Grow them against a sunny wall or trellis for best results and enjoy the delicious berries either straight off the bush or in pies, jams and crumbles.
Sorry we don't have any Tayberry Bushes available at the moment, but we do have lots of other lovely edible plants available for next day delivery.

This Tayberry plant will be happiest in a sunny spot in the garden and will eventually produce large fruit which is excellent for cooking, freezing and jam making.
Your Tayberry will do best in a sunny, sheltered position outside. As soon as practical your Tayberry plant will benefit from being planted out in the garden or potted up into a much larger pot. Add a top dressing of well rotted manure or other rich compost to help your plant settle in.
If planting out, keep your Tayberry well watered whilst it is establishing. Once settled, your plant shouldn’t need extra watering, unless there is a spell of particularly hot dry weather. If keeping your plant in a container, it will need regular watering –aim to keep the soil moist.
These are young plants and we would expect them to have their first harvest in the next year or two.Problem solving
Tayberries are tempting to birds and other wildlife, you may need to net your plant during the growing season to protect ripening fruit.
Be careful not to let your plant dry out, plants kept in a container will need more regular watering, especially during hot, dry spells in the Summer.
