1 Live Plant Boysenberry Thornless Rubus Hybrid Sweet Tart Berry

Boysenberry is a trailing bramble that produces large, dark burgundy fruit with a rich sweet-tart flavor prized for fresh eating, jams, and desserts. This hybrid combines raspberry, blackberry, and dewberry heritage into a vigorous, productive plant that rewards gardeners with heavy summer yields once established.

The fruit ripens to a deep purple-black and holds its flavor well when frozen or cooked. Boysenberry canes benefit from a trellis or support and perform well in containers or garden rows. Berries are versatile in pies, preserves, syrups, and smoothies. Canes are biennial, fruiting on second-year wood, so prune spent canes after harvest to encourage new growth.
