The thornless Boysenberry is an exceptional fruiting plant ideal for home gardens. This vigorous hybrid berry plant typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet and can spread up to 4 feet wide, making it suitable for various garden spaces. Its growth habit is semi-erect, allowing for easy maintenance and harvesting.
For optimal growth, thornless Boysenberries thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. This exposure enhances fruit production and flavor. Additionally, they prefer well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
Water requirements are moderate, but it is essential to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during fruiting. Established plants can tolerate short periods of drought, but regular watering is crucial during dry spells to ensure healthy growth and abundant yields. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
