== Boysenberries == '''Boysenberries''' are a hybrid bramble fruit created by crossing [[Raspberry|raspberries]], [[Blackberry|blackberries]], and [[Loganberry|loganberries]]. They have a deep purple color and a sweet-tart flavor. == Starting Plants == Boysenberries are typically propagated from rooted cuttings or purchased as bare-root plants. Plant in well-drained soil with a pH between 5.8 and 6.5. Provide support for the canes, such as a trellis or fence. == Planting Time == Plant bare-root boysenberries in early spring, 2-4 weeks before the [[last frost date]]. Space plants 3-4 feet apart in rows 6-8 feet apart. == Harvesting == Boysenberries typically produce fruit on two-year-old canes. Berries are ready to harvest when they have turned deep purple and are slightly soft. Gently pull the berries from the canes and collect them in a container. Boysenberry plants can produce fruit for 10-15 years with proper care. == Seed Harvesting == Boysenberries are not typically grown from seed, as they are hybrid plants that do not produce true-to-type offspring. == Commonly Grown Varieties == There are few boysenberry varieties, as they are a specific hybrid. Some related bramble fruits include: *Loganberries: A cross between raspberries and blackberries, with elongated, dark red fruit. *Marionberries: A blackberry variety developed in Oregon, with large, flavorful berries. == Culinary Uses == Boysenberries can be used in various dishes, such as: *Fresh boysenberries: Eat fresh as a snack or add to fruit salads. *Boysenberry pie: Use fresh or frozen boysenberries to make a delicious dessert. *[[Jams and Jellies|Boysenberry jam]]: Cook boysenberries with sugar and pectin to make a flavorful jam. *Boysenberry syrup: Simmer boysenberries with sugar and water to make a syrup for pancakes or ice cream.
