Boysenberry– (Rubus ursinus x idaeus); thought to be a hybrid between Thornless Blackberry, American Dewberry, Loganberry and Raspberry, the fruit is aromatic and a little tart to taste. Great eaten as fresh fruit in fruit salads but fruit is quite soft and juicy and does not store terribly well, meaning you rarely see these delicacies in shops.Harvest early Summer. For best results train plants over a trellis and remove old dead canes in Vinter, leaving only vigorous healthy canes to produce the next crop. Protect fruit from extreme heat and ensure adequate water while fruit develops. Pick fruit when fully ripe for maximum sweetness. Prefers full sun to part shade. Supplied as a pack of 1 dormant cane. Grows 1.5-2m high & wide
Protect Raspberries/Boysenberries from extreme heat and damaging winds during Summer. Needs a well drained fertile soil and adequate water during the Summer months. Raspberries require a cold Winter to enable adequate fruit set. Lightly thin canes in Winter as these Raspberry varieties will flower and fruit on the previous season’s growth. Plant 30cm apart. Prefers a full sun to part shade and likes weekly watering in Summer.
Strawberries are best suited to cooler climates as warmer climates and humidity can cause fungal issues to develop. Plant into a well drained, well fertilised soil for best results. Plants need regular watering during the fruiting season and at least 6 hours of sun per day to fruit well. Mulching is recommended to retain moisture and limit weed growth.
Supplied as a pack of 8 bare rooted plants, Individually labelled.

A $5.00 Quarantine Inspection Surcharge applies in addition to the Delivery Charge for orders delivered to Tasmania, Northern Territory and Western Australia due to the increased complexity of quarantine requirements.

Delivery times may be extended during peak periods (typically following the release of the latest catalogue), extended public holidays, if extreme weather conditions are not suitable for live plant transport or as detailed in the product description.
Individual items may be back-ordered to avoid delaying the delivery of other items. Please allow additional delivery time for orders to Tasmania, Northern Territory and Western Australia due to quarantine restrictions.
