Plant your Thornless Boysenberry in a location that receives full sun, at least 6 hours a day. They thrive in fertile, well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy clay, amending it with compost or organic matter will improve drainage.
At maturity, Thornless Boysenberry plants reach 4-6 feet tall and 6-10 feet wide. Plan for their growth and space them 10 feet apart when planting multiple bushes.
Dig a hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball of your Thornless Boysenberry and just as deep. Loosen the surrounding soil to encourage healthy root development.
Carefully remove your Thornless Boysenberry from its container and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the plant in the hole so the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole and tamp gently to eliminate air pockets.
Water your newly planted Thornless Boysenberry deeply, soaking the soil around the base until water runs freely from the drainage area.
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant, keeping it a few inches from the stem. Replenish mulch as needed throughout the year. Water regularly during the first year to establish roots. Established plants are more drought-tolerant but still appreciate consistent moisture.
With Thornless Boysenberry, not only will you get to enjoy the unmatched satisfaction of homegrown berries, but you’ll also be creating lasting memories with family and friends over delicious homemade jams, pies, and cobblers. Our Thornless Boysenberry plants are nurtured with care, ensuring they arrive healthy and ready to thrive in your garden.

Water your Thornless Boysenberry deeply once or twice a week, ensuring the soil stays moist but not soggy. Adjust watering based on weather conditions.
Replenish mulch around the base of your plants each year to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
In late fall or early winter, remove old, unproductive canes (floricanes) that have already fruited. This encourages new growth for next season’s bounty.
In early spring, provide your Thornless Boysenberry with a balanced slow-release fertilizer or compost to give them a nutrient boost throughout the growing season.
Train your Thornless Boysenberry vines on a trellis or fence for optimal growth. This allows for better sun exposure, air circulation, and easier picking.
If you live in a region with harsh winters, shield your Thornless Boysenberry plants with mulch or burlap to safeguard them from freezing temperatures.
When your Thornless Boysenberry arrives, water them deeply to settle the soil around the roots. Aim for a good soaking, but avoid creating puddles.
During the first year, water your Thornless Boysenberry deeply 1-2 times a week, especially during hot or dry weather. Ensure the soil stays moist but not soggy, allowing the top inch to dry slightly between waterings.
After the first year, your Thornless Boysenberry plants are more established. Water them deeply once a week, or more frequently if experiencing hot and dry weather. Let the top 2-3 inches of soil dry before watering again.
Water early in the morning to allow the soil to absorb moisture effectively. Water directly at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the leaves, which can promote disease. Adjust your watering routine based on your climate and rainfall patterns.
When your Thornless Boysenberry arrives, hold off on fertilizing. The nursery pots typically contain enough nutrients for the initial growth stage.
Fertilize your Thornless Boysenberry once in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or composted manure. This provides essential nutrients for healthy growth and development.
Fertilize your Thornless Boysenberry again in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or composted manure. You can also add a light feeding in mid-summer to encourage continued fruit production.
Always follow the application instructions on the fertilizer package. Over-fertilizing can damage your plants. Water your plants thoroughly before applying fertilizer to prevent burning the roots.
Thornless Boysenberry have two types of canes: floricanes (first-year canes that fruit this season) and primocanes (new canes growing this season that will fruit next year).
Prune in late fall or early winter when the plants are dormant. Remove all fruited floricanes (cut them back to ground level) to encourage new growth for next season. Thin out remaining primocanes, keeping only 3-4 of the strongest and most vigorous ones per plant.
Clean your tools with rubbing alcohol to prevent the spread of disease. Dispose of prunings by composting healthy canes or discarding diseased ones in the trash.
