Well I've gone and bought two tayberries from poundland today.
Was quite impressed with the stock they had but the lad was just
filling the shelves so I suspect it had just arrived.

Will be planting them this week I assume - not read the instructions
on the back but have just read they might like to be in the middle of
a field ... on their own

"The strong growers should be planted about 4m (13ft)
apart. Medium strength growers need to be planted about 2.5m (8ft)"

4M apart? Just how big do they get?!!

IME around 25 ft in really good and well-watered soil.

You have several spare fields?

We grow them on a 2m high fence and they can spread over 2m on either
side of the root.

I think you'd need to define "have" and "spare"
There is a field at the back of my house which is much underused. It's
not mine though,but might end up being allotments sooner or later

That's really promising.
Tempting to put one on the field behind if they can grow that huge.

Kay is an expert on Tayberry, I seem to remember she had some in her
garden. I haven't seen Kay posting for a few days, come in Kay?

I had one growing along a verandah and it ran half the length of it,
turned the corner and continued for six feet.

In the autumn I used to mulch it with well-rotted goat, rabbit and
poultry manure.

The one I have ATM is about four inches long.

And Martin, I'm referring to the Tayberry...
