Has anybody grown or eaten this berry? I'm just wondering if this is a berry worth growing or is it too similar to Tayberry (in taste) which I've already secured. I don't think I've ever seen Tummelberry (also Loganberry, Tayberry or Wineberry) sold in the usual open-box packaging you see in shops around Spring and Autumn.

I read that they are not as sweet as Tayberries more like Logan berries.

I have had the same loganberry in my garden now for approx 20years. The fruit makes fab eton mess, even bgetter fruit pies than raspberries and loganberry curd is out of this world. Tummelberries are very similar and in my view very good value from one of the gardening companies I use. All fruit is good fruit! enjoy and don,t worry about whether it is popular.

Hi there* I have a tummleberry in my garden it's now over five feet high and yields the most amazing berries every year. It took about two years to achieve a really good yield but the taste and size of the berries is amazing. I would definitely recommend!
