    Tayberries looking different..

    Hi again!

    I bought a couple of small tayberry plants earlier in the year from Morrison's, when they were tiny, they looked pretty similar, but now they're growing they are starting to look totally different!

    One looks spiney, like a traditional BlackBerry, with BlackBerry looking leaves.


    ..the other has no spines at all, totally smooth, and has different leaves..

    Is it possible one is not a tayberry!?

    I "think" mine is prickly. I'll take a photo tomorrow.

      Mine is prickly like photo two but it has a habit of sending out the odd stem like picture one which is a thornless blackberry.

        When we moved here (In 2014) there was what we were told was a Tayberry, it has fruit that looks and tastes like Tayberry, and it looks just like your thornless plant. Your one with thorns 'might' also be a Tayberry but does look more like a normal Blackberry

          Thanks Losos, when researching I came across a thornless variety called 'Buckingham' but couldn't find any other named varieties..
          .. these were just called 'tayberry'
          Guess I'll have to wait til they fruit!

            Scarlet, did you ever get to have a look at your tayberry plants!?

            My spiney one is growing much, much faster than the spineless one!

                  Wow, that is spikey!

                  Your leaves are different to my spikey one, I'm concerned my spikey one might be a blackberry!

                    I'd be more concerned it's gunna cover that cool looking shed

                      Well photo two looks similar to my Tayberry .....I would go with Roitelets suggestion that your "spineless" one is throwing out the occassional funny branch.

                        Well, here's a turn up....

                        The 'thornless' plant is throwing up a very much thorny shoot from its base!

                          I use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
