Tayberry is one of our favourite hybrid berries for fruit quality. Larger and generally heavier cropping than loganberry, it bears long purple-red berries with abundant juice, a dominant raspberry aroma and a subtle blackberry note. The plant quickly develops long canes and must be trained. Fully ripe berries are tender and have only a short storage life.

Tayberry hybrid berry plant is a blackberry × raspberry hybrid, producing fruits often known in French as “muroises”.
The fruit has a strong raspberry flavour, with some acidity and a light blackberry aroma. Unlike blackberries, this Tayberry is thornless.
Tayberry is not everbearing. It produces one abundant harvest in July and August, when the fruits turn very dark red.
This is a very vigorous plant, and heavy crops can be obtained when the canes are properly trained.
Tayberry 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. Training the canes and maintaining an open structure helps reduce disease pressure, including botrytis.
Tayberry is self-fertile, so a single plant can produce fruit.
