Tayberries are an aggregate fruit like their parents the blackberry and raspberry. They are composed of tiny individual drupelets that are held together by very fine, nearly invisible hairs. Elongated with a solid core like a blackberry, but with smaller individual drupelets like the raspberry, the Tayberry is a tender and juicy fruit. They are dark magenta or maroon when ripe and offer sweet-tart raspberry notes balanced by the rich lusciousness of a blackberry. Together on the palate, the Tayberry.s unique flavors combine to come across like pink lemonade mixed with cassis.
