Boysenberries produce larger fruit that ripens to a deep purple color that's right in the middle of blackberries and raspberries. The berries are slightly sweeter than blackberries but also offer a sharp tartness, too. The fruit is great for making jams, pies, or just as a snack by themselves. This plant is self-fertile.
