Description
The trailing canes grow 4-6 ft. tall. Boysenberries are harvested when the fruits drop from the vine at the slightest touch. Boysenberries don’t keep well—so the best way to enjoy them is to grow them yourself. For best results, plant boysenberries in well-drained, slightly acidic soil in full sun. Self-pollinating. Zones 5-10.
Despite its name, the Thornless boysenberry does have thorns, but they’re smaller (more like thin hairs) and less in number than found on the Thorny variety. Said to be less hardy than their prickly cousin, Thornless boysenberry should still survive a winter in regions as low as 6, particularly if they are properly protected.
