Plants that want to produce particularly sweet fruits require sun. But the berries of the Tayberry are characterized by a sour aroma. Was there an error in the headline? Not at all! Read on to find out what makes a place your favorite place.
Which location is best for a tayberry?
The ideal location for a tayberry is sunny, protected from the wind and offers enough space for a stable frame. A well-draining, loamy soil and the possibility of container cultivation are also important. Regular watering and care are required.
The more sun, the better
If you invite a tayberry into your garden, you should give it a place in the sun. The more sunshine it gets, the more the harvest will delight you. A partially shaded spot doesn't have to mean the end. However, the bush will flower less there and will therefore bear far less fruit. By the way, these not only taste delicious fresh from the bush, but also as jam or cake topping, for example. So you can never have enough of it.
Find a place sheltered from the wind
While the sun is welcome, the wind has to avoid the plant. Because it can quickly cause the soil to dry out, especially in summer. The Tayberry doesn't like that.
- plant in a protected place
- z. B. close to the house wall
- or on another wall
Tip
You can compensate for the disadvantages of a windy spot if you reach for the watering can as soon as the soil threatens to dry out.
Is there enough space for scaffolding?
Don't look for a location that has enough space for a tayberry. Look for a location that has space for a tayberry AND sturdy scaffolding. Because their long tendrils must be tamed.
Also pay attention to the condition of the soil
A loamy soil that does not allow water to drain well is not suitable for this plant because it does not tolerate waterlogging. The advantages of a sunny location are not enough to compensate for this disadvantage. If necessary, improve the excavation with leaf humus and sand.
Mobile location in a bucket
The location of a Tayberry can also be in the middle of a terrace or balcony. This is possible by cultivating it in a large container. If the berry plant is in the pot, its location can be easily changed if necessary. All Tayberry varieties are suitable for keeping in containers. But you should know that a tayberry in a pot will require more care from you.
