Buckingham offers the powerful flavour of a tayberry without the thorns that often make harvesting unpleasant. Its large elongated fruit turns purple-red when ripe and combines raspberry character with a subtle blackberry note. The berries are delicious fresh but relatively delicate. Long canes require training, and stems that have fruited should be removed after harvest.

Buckingham tayberry plant is a blackberry × raspberry hybrid, producing fruits often known in French as “muroises”.
The flavour is strongly raspberry-like, with some acidity and a light blackberry aroma.
Buckingham is a cultivar of tayberry. It is not everbearing, producing one abundant harvest in July and August, when the fruits turn very dark red.
This plant prefers cool, rather acidic soils. Mulching with fragmented ramial wood can help recreate conditions similar to a woodland edge and support good growth.
After fruiting, remove canes that have finished cropping and keep the strongest young canes for the following season. An open pruning structure also helps reduce disease pressure, including botrytis.
Buckingham is self-fertile, so a single plant can produce fruit.
