Growing Information for Tayberry Plants:
Position
Plant your tayberry bush in full sun or semi-shade. It is cold-hardy and can tolerate low temperatures in winter.
Size
This bramble requires a trellis or fence to grow on. Give each bush about 2.5 metres of space around it to grow easily.
Soil
The ultimate soil combination for your Tayberry Plant
Berry Mix
Volcanic Rock Dust
Pine Bark Mulch
Submerge the pot in water for 10 minutes before transplanting
We stock volcanic rock dust containing trace elements and organic minerals to boost your soil’s health and increase essential micro-organisms.
Watering
Give your plant a good soaking every 2 to 3 days, if there has been no rain.
Mulch
Use from 2 to 5 centimetres of pine bark mulch to protect the roots from UV damage and drying out. It retains moisture, and maintains an optimal pH. Do not let the mulch touch the plant stem, as it may cause infection or rot
Pruning
Prune your tayberry lightly in winter, focusing on removing the dead and diseased canes.
Fertilising
Apply 1 teaspoon every 4-5 months of our slow-release all-plant fertiliser. The roots will absorb what they need
Harvesting
Pick the berry with its stalk. It’s ready to pick when it gives under a little pressure and has achieved full colour.
