Tayberries are a cross between Blackberry and Raspberry, producing large, sweet fruits often up to 5cm long. ‘Buckingham’ is no exception, where it’s delicious fruits are best harvested when at a deep purple shade of colour, just perfectly ripe, ready to be eaten fresh or in a dessert. Totally thornless allowing for easier and prick-free harvesting, unlike most other varieties of Tayberry, they’re also very easy to grow and establish in home gardens. Estimated time to cropping once planted: 16-20 months. Estimated time to best yields: 28-32 months. Our 1 year old plants are container grown rather than field grown to provide you with stronger, superior quality plants.
Growing Information
Plant tayberry bushes in a sunny position in any well drained soil. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the ground prior to planting. When growing tayberry plants, support the stems on a framework of wires stretched between sturdy 1.8m (6′) posts, or trained against a trellis or wall.
