loganberry, tayberry & boysenberry
Three years ago, I planted a loganberry, expecting its fruit to be as big and flavoursome as the ones that grew in the garden where I grew up. I was disappointed. So I'd like to replace it with something similar that bears big, juicy, distinctive and flavoursome fruit.
A friend suggested I try a tayberry or boysenberry. Which one tends to produce the biggest, juiciest, tastiest fruit, with a unique flavour? Many thanks, Al |

The Loganberry hardly fruited and they were not as I remembered them from my youth either. The boysenberry was a total thug, seeded everywhere (birds?) too and again hardly fruited well. Both out now. Neighbour had a Tayberry and it had superb fruit and lots of them, it also never got thuggish and is easy to train. I'd recommend the Tayberry. -- Regards Bob Hobden |
