XL and aromatic fruit raspberry - Rubus loganobaccus 'Tayberry'
Rubus loganobaccus 'Tayberry' is a cross between the North American blackberry (Rubus ursinus) and the European raspberry (Rubus idaeus), created in 1979 in Scotland. The plant has earned a reputation as a super fruit – the fruit is tasty, large in size (up to 4cm!), with abundant production, and high vitamin and antioxidant content.
From a production standpoint, it is considered an incredible shrub because the fruits appear and ripen in stages starting in June, and in mature specimens, fruiting continues until late autumn. The fruit quantity is considered very high – yields from specialized farms reach 27 tons/hectare. In private gardens, yields of 35 kg per adult plant have been reported.
✔️ Key advantages:
• Large, elongated fruits with intense and fragrant taste
• Productive and robust hybrid, with vigorous growth
• Ripens in June–July, with abundant production
• Ideal for fresh consumption, but also for homemade preparations
• Very resistant to diseases and cold (down to -20°C)

• Harvest period: June–July
• Positioning: in full sun
• Soil: fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic
• Watering: regular, without waterlogging
• Height: 1.5–2 m; requires support on a trellis
Recommendation: After fruiting, cut the stems that have fruited at the base to encourage the growth of new ones. The plant needs space to develop, making it suitable for fences, pergolas, or dense rows.

Pot diameter: 11-14 cm or 2 liters
Garden or terrace plants are grown in unprotected spaces or with minimal protection (shade nets or hail nets). For this reason, they naturally cannot have perfect foliage – leaves may show marks, defects, or other damage.
In the cold season, plants enter a period of dormancy.
