'Buckingham' Thornless Tayberry Plants
- Soft fruit fanatics were very excited about this new introduction when it arrived on the scene a few years back
- Bred in Scotland as a cross between a Loganberry and a Blackberry, Tayberries are large, sweet berries with an added aromatic dimension to their flavour
- This particular variety is very reliable and fruits on thornless canes, a relief for many a soft fruit grower...
- Buckingham also has excellent pest and disease resistance, so a good crop is assured.
- Performs well in a sunny spot or with partial shade.
- Harvest from late July through to August.
