 hi have picked the last of the Tayberries tonight  81/2 pounds in total over a fortnight has any one else had a good crop this year   jezza

Gave up picking after 5lbs and left loads on the plants for the birds and wildlife! That's from 3 original canes planted about 6/7 years ago and have never had a duff year. Mind you....all the fruit has done well this year.

I have just the one plant but it is very vigorous. Lovely crop this year, like viettaclark, shared with the birds too. All the fruited canes are now cut out and the new ones tied in for next year, all tidy like 😁

Wow, I only have one plant but it's taking a while to get going, maybe a multi purpose feed for the rest of this season.

I have one plant as well, had it about 4 years and still doesn't produce that much. Mind you, it was just an impulse buy from Aldi. If it doesn't buck it's ideas up soon, it'll be coming out!

Edited to clarify quote.

Well Sunshine....done mine too and as I returned to the kitchen shredded to pieces, dripping gore, I thought; 1) wear gloves you nutter and 2) why didn't you get loganberries.......?
However it's done for another year and manured well and the flavour is so good I can't moan that much......

Mine just gets a handful of blood. fish & bone in February every year, so perhaps stop the phostrogen and leave it until next Spring

[viettaclark]

I agree. Fish blood and bone in Spring and I manure about now as food for the new canes and a mulch.
