Boysenberry
The original thorny version of the Boysenberry, one of the mainstays of Oregon’s blackberry industry! Boysenberries produce very large, sweet and flavorful, dark maroon fruit that is great for fresh eating and makes wonderful jam, syrup, pie and cobbler. This berry is reminiscent of wild blackberry flavor but the seeds are smaller and the canes are much less thorny. Get full flavored berries loaded with antioxidants.
