The Tayberry (Rubus) Buckingham is a popular, self-fertile, spreading, deciduous fruit bush providing summer interest. Very easy to pick, grow and harvest.

 

Description

A tayberry is a cross between a raspberry and blackberry. This thornless variety produces deliciously sweet, aromatic, red-purple berries ready to harvest in mid-July. The fruits, which can grow up to 5cm in length, are great for eating fresh or as a dessert. The Buckingham is a small shrub with coarse, small, heart-shaped, green, fragrant leaves from spring. 

 

Planting Position

This Tayberry is a hardy hybrid, suitable for beds and borders and is often planted in informal gardens. The Buckingham will do well in sheltered areas in full sun to partial shade and moist but well-drained soil.

 

Aftercare

The Tayberry (Rubus) Buckingham requires moderate maintenance. Support the stems on a framework of wires or train against a trellis, fence or wall. Once well established, cut fruited canes down to the ground during autumn and tie in any new canes which have grown over the summer. Water well for the first year until the Tayberry plants are fully established.

 

Size

After 2-5 years, the shrub can reach a height of 1.5m to 2.5m with a 2.5m to 4m spread.
