thanks for the video! I tried a "boysenberry" plant from a different nursery, and it was nowhere near what it should have tasted like. Looking forward to buying an original in February!

Great video! I bought 2 vines from you this past spring, and I've been waiting to plant them in the ground this month. Do you think I should try to tip start from my vines, or give them a year on their own? Thanks for any advice you can give me. Roberta
Yes, you can tip-start from the plants you bought this past spring! That's what we did when we first received 24 Heritage Boysenberry starts in 2017 from my cousin, Alice Masek. My husband, Tom, propagated 900 plants in the fall of 2017 from the 24 vines we started in Fallbrook before we ever got our first boysenberry crop. Then we dug them up in March, brought them to our newly purchased farm in Orland, CA, and planted them here. We now have 2400 vines! Good luck propagating. Just remember to keep all your new tip-starts watered throughout their root development, about 4 to 5 months.
Thanks so much for the information. I'm very excited and hopeful that I can get these vines going! Do you think its a concern that there are lots of wild Himalayan blackberries behind out fence where we live here in Grass Valley? Think they might cross pollinate?
@@bertobean1 thanks for asking! Boysenberries are a hybrid and are self-pollinating. I’m not sure if there would be a problem with cross-pollinating or not.
