Legendary Sweet-Tart Berry with Old-School Flavor & Backyard Charm

The Boysenberry is a classic American hybrid fruit with a rich, juicy flavor that blends the best of blackberry, raspberry, and loganberry. This vigorous, thornless bramble vine produces large, deep maroon-purple berries that are bursting with sweet-tart juice, perfect for fresh eating, pies, preserves, and syrupy summer cobblers.

Developed in California and made famous by family farms like Knott’s Berry Farm, the Boysenberry has become a beloved heirloom among berry growers and foodies alike. It thrives in full sun, grows rapidly, and is self-fertile, making it perfect for edible landscapes, raised beds, and backyard berry patches.

Boysenberry brambles are easy to train on trellises, fences, or arches, creating a living wall of berries with high yields. They’re also one of the earliest berries to fruit, with harvests typically starting in late spring to early summer.

At Sow Exotic, our Boysenberry plants are shipped in 4" plantable biodegradable coconut coir pots, ready to root into your garden or container with zero waste.
