A boysenberry is a cross between a
Raspberry, a
Blackberry
and a Loganberry.
Boysenberries are extremely hardy very easy to grow and very
disease resistant. Their vigorous growth produces large
crops of berries that taste like wild blackberries but are
several times the size. An excellent addition to the fruit
garden.
Boysenberry
(Rubus
ursinus × idaeus)
Originating
from the famous Knott's Berry Farm in California, this superb
hybrid berry is a cross between a blackberry, loganberry and a
raspberry. Round to oblong, reddish-purple fruits have a
unique flavour that combines the tartness of good
old-fashioned wild blackberries with a sweet hint of
raspberry. The delicious crop can be harvested from July to
September and can be eaten fresh or used for bramble and apple
jelly or pie fillings. Boysenberries are undemanding and
extremely easy to grow.
