Tummelberry Seed Packet

Tummelberry (Rubus fruticosus ?? R. idaeus) is a vigorous hybrid between raspberry and blackberry, developed in 1984 by the Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI). This bramble produces large, round, bright-red berries that resemble raspberries in appearance but carry a juicy, sweet-tart flavor with blackberry-like depth. Tummelberries ripen from mid-July through late August, offering an extended summer harvest that?€?s ideal for fresh eating, preserves, desserts, or freezing.

Perfect for home gardeners seeking high flavor and low fuss, Tummelberry plants thrive when grown in full sun, with well-draining, fertile soil and regular watering. Though slow to start from seed, they establish quickly from cane cuttings or bare-root canes. Train them along a trellis or fence and prune annually to encourage airflow and maximize yields. Hardy and productive, Tummelberry is a standout choice for berry lovers who want reliable harvests, bold color, and a flavorful twist on the traditional raspberry.
