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.
