Plants that want to produce particularly sweet fruit need sun. But the berries of the tayberry are characterized by a sour aroma. Was there a mistake in the headline? Not at all! Read on for what makes a square a favorite.
Lots of sun = lots of fruit
The more sun, the better!
If you invite a tayberry into your garden, you should offer it a place in the sun. The more sunshine she gets, the happier the harvest will be. A half-shady place does not have to mean the end. However, the shrub will flower less there and consequently bear far less fruit. Incidentally, these not only taste delicious fresh from the bush, but also, for example, as jam or cake toppings. So you can never have enough of it.
Find a sheltered place
While the sun is welcome, the wind has to give the plant a wide berth. Because it can quickly dry out the soil, especially in summer. Tayberries don't like that.
- plant in a sheltered spot
- e.g. B. close to the house wall
- or on another wall
tips
You can compensate for the disadvantages of a windy spot by reaching for the watering can as soon as the soil threatens to dry up.
Is there enough space for scaffolding?
Don't look for a site that has enough room for a tayberry. Look for a location that has room for a tayberry AND a sturdy framework. Because their long tendrils must be tamed.
Also pay attention to the soil conditions
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 offset this disadvantage. If necessary, improve the excavation with leaf humus and sand.
Mobile location in the bucket
The location of a tayberry can also be in the middle of a terrace or balcony. This is made possible by cultivating in a large bucket. If the berry plant is in the bucket, its location can also be easily changed if necessary. All tayberry varieties are suitable for keeping in tubs. But you should know that a tayberry in a pot will require more care.
