Product description
A cross between blackberry and raspberries species. The Rubus Tayberry is a hardy variety with arching-to-trailing viny stems covered in mid-green foliage and groupings of small white flowers in Spring. Large yields of large, red-purple berries can be expected from mid-Summer and into the Autumn. The berries are generally quite large and possess a sharp, sweet flavour. A great variety for jam making or freezing.
Plant in moist, fertile, well-drained soil and keep in full or partial sun in a sheltered position. Water regularly until properly established but avoid waterlogging. Some longer canes may require supports.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune Tayberry plants after fruiting to remove dead canes and encourage healthy growth for the next season.
How to Water
Water Tayberry plants regularly, especially during fruiting season. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Tayberry in a sunny spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants about 90-120cm apart to allow for growth. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and add a mulch layer to retain moisture.
