Raised by the Scottish Crop Research Institute at Invergowrie in Scotland. The bright purple fruits are very large and the flavour is magnificent, the yield is very high and the firm, juicy fruits ripen early July and cover the plant in a blanket of mouthwatering berries. The tayberry is unique, it is different, its superb. Raised at the S.C.R.I. by crossing a very high quality Aurora blackberry with an improved tetraploid raspberry. The tayberry has given exceptional results in Ministry of Agriculture trials over a long period, copping consistently, year after year. The fruits are twice the weight of an average large raspberry, much longer and deep purple in colour. Excellent for dessert, and all other purposes. Freezes exceptionally well and the refreshing rich, aromatic flavour is superb. Whenever this new cultivar is seen and tasted it is proclaimed a must. Every garden that grows soft fruit must include the Medana Tayberry. Cultivation is the same as for the blackberry or loganberry, and should be planted 8″ apart. The new taste of tayberries is very highly recommended.All high quality plants and NOT tissue culture mini plants! When, a few years ago, we were the first to introduce the new virus free Medana Tayberry, we believed it to be the finest hybrid berry ever raised and the virus tested status a must to achieve the exceptional results this superb new berry is capable of. We knew we were right … and fortunately our customers agree. sold out







We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
