BOYSENBERRY

Boysenberrys are named after Rudolph Boysen who had experimented in the late 1920s America crossing Raspberry with Blackberry and Loganberry the result was a delicious new red black juicy fruit. Boysen abandoned his experiments but fortunately a berry fruit enthusiast a Mr Walter Knott found the few remaining plants and successfully propagated new plants from which the current Boysenberrys originate. Produces good heavy crops of red purple large raspberry fruits that have a sweet blackberry flavour. Succeeds well even in dry conditions
