The Boysenberry was developed in California and is a cross between a raspberry and a blackberry, however, the Boysenberry is more similar to the blackberry than the raspberry. The thorny canes of the Boysenberry are trailing and some horticulturalists call the Boysenberry a "dewberry", instead of a blackberry, and still other consider these hybrids to exist as a separate class. Hybrid Boysenberry plants are among the easiest fruit bearing plants to grow at home. Cultivated varieties of the Hybrid Boysenberry plants are called hybrids and have much larger berries than the wild types and also the flavor is consistently sweeter, thus avoiding a random bitter berry that is often found growing in the wild. The Hybrid Boysenberry Plant generally starts bearing during the second year after planting and will continue indefinitely. The huge size of the Hybrid Boysenberry Plants make it easy to pick the boysenberries from the top of the vines. The berry from the Hybrid Boysenberry Plant is often used in delicious chocolate candies. Generally, the berry of the Hybrid Boysenberry plant is most adaptable to all extremes in climates and soils.
