Are my Boysenberries unusual? Mine do tip-root but rarely on their own.
There are so many people wanting plants and the only way to do it seems to
be to dig a hole, insert the growing point and cover it. Sure, I could bury
whole vines to root them but I'd rather not because I enjoy the berries more
than I enjoy selling plants. Here in zone 3, Boysenberries make it through
the Winter just fine so long as they get at least 2" of snow cover but I
wish they'd make more new plants without my help.
