Boysenberry fruit plants in 140mm pots.

The boysenberry is a bramble fruit, a hybrid between a raspberry, blackberry, and loganberry. The plant grows as a sprawling vine or bush, with thorny or thornless canes, depending on the variety. It has dark green, serrated leaves and produces delicate white to pale pink flowers in the spring.

The fruit itself is large, juicy, and deep maroon to almost black when fully ripe. Boysenberries have a rich, sweet-tart flavor, combining the characteristics of its parent fruits. They are typically harvested in late spring to early summer. The plant thrives in temperate climates with full sun and well-drained soil, requiring regular watering. Boysenberries are popular for fresh eating, making jams, and in desserts, appreciated for their robust flavor and high nutritional content.
