Boysenberry

Rubus ursinus

There is nothing quite as unique as a boysenberry, offering up both the dark color and syrupy sweetness of a blackberry with the tart richness of a raspberry running through the background. A true culinary delicacy and prized ingredient for preserves, desserts, and sauces to accompany grilled or roasted meat. Self-pollinating.

Due to their short shelf life once picked, the only way to enjoy fresh boysenberries is to grow them yourself! They are easy to grow in full sun in well-drained soil.

Planting and Maintenance Info:

Light Requirements: Full Sun

In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!
