Boysenberry

I planted mine in the ground back in late July and now 3 months later it's just about filled in the trellis space I gave it. I'm attaching a photo of it from a month ago and since then it's grown to the top and beyond. From its growth habit and leaf characteristics it acts and looks like a Boysen to me. My particular plant had more basal branch growth from when I planted it and it's only slightly less vigorous than some Rudy's Original Boysens I have planted next to it in a large planter, but everything else looks and acts similarly. With Boysens, or any trailing blackberry, you really want to avoid pruning if at all possible and just keep routing the canes anywhere you have space. If you run out of space just start looping them in a spiral. Pruning will not produce additional yield but it will make the canes want to fork off in 2 or even 3 different directions. Additionally you really want to go with a thorny Boysen over a thornless as the latter are not genetically thornless but chimerically thornless which reduces vigor and yield. I personally don't mind thorns so I always default to "thorny" plants.

Delivered quickly and growing well! We'll see how it looks next year.

All 3 arrived healthy. I planted them right away in my newly prepared bed for them. It has been a few weeks now and they are growing and thriving. They even have a few blossoms already!
Thank you for such beautiful plants!

I was unsure about this one and the N TX winters but its thriving. A few flowers and a few new shoots . I want it to spread so thats a nice feature.

The boysen arrived in excellent condition. I am planting it inside a 27 gallon storage container(with lots of holes for drainage). It is inside a fence, to keep the deer away from it. It is doing well, going to sleep for the winter.
