Description

The most exciting new hybridberry for many years; a tayberry without spines. Tayberries are a cross between a Blackberry and a Raspberry and simply delicious once fully ripe (be careful not to pick them too early as they can be rather sour!)

Buckingham is virtually identical in every respect to the original Tayberry except for its spinelessness, and produces consistently high yields of dark red conical fruits that can be up to 2" (5 cm) in length. Fruits are best eaten when they have matured past red to a purple colour.

Being later to flower, there is less chance of reduced fruit set / fruit damage in cold years - particularly useful for Northern gardeners.

Given that they have a growing habit similar to a blackberry we recommend offering support for them, although it is not essential.

These were featured on the BBC Great British Garden Revival presented by Alys Fowler - who came to see us in the Summer to talk about all sorts of berries, and this just happened to be one of her favourites!
