The Tayberry has a sweet and aromatic taste when picked fully ripe, large in size and fruits prolifically. Bred in Scotland, this fruit is a cross between a Raspberry and a Blackberry.

They are vigorous plants, needing some 4 sq m of space, on a fence or trained on wires. This space can be reduced by tying in the fruiting growths in a circular pattern.

They should be picked when they are fully ripe when they are a  dark maroon fruit. The central plug stays within the fruit when picked, just as happens with a blackberry fruit, rather than a raspberry.

Prune by cutting out the wood that has just fruited in late summer, tying in the new growths to fruit the following year. Do not cut off the new growths
