The Boysenberry is a hybrid fruit that is a cross between a raspberry, a blackberry, and a loganberry. It was first cultivated in California in the 1920s by a man named Rudolph Boysen, hence its name. The Boysenberry plant is a thornless variety, making it easier to harvest its delicious fruit without the hassle of getting pricked. The fruit itself is large and juicy with a sweet-tart flavour, making it a popular choice for jams, jellies, pies, and other desserts. Boysenberry plants are hardy and can grow in a range of soil types, which makes them easy to care for and suitable for a variety of garden settings.
