Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Prefers full sun with average to dry, well-drained soils. Do not plant in soils with potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant and peppers as they may have left behind soil-borne verticillium wilt. Plant boysenberries with the crown of the plant 5cm below the soil line. Fruits are produced on 2nd year canes.
