In these brazzel berries? Or are the just using market hype?

I'm only interested because i don't have space to commit to a full grown raspberry.
It looks neat but I've in older threads that thornless varieties are bland compared to the thorny ones.

I have a brazzle berry and they are really good. The first year we only got a couple dozen but im hoping this year is better.

Thanks for that, I think I might put a little more thought into getting one, They're a little more pricey than getting a regular one but I think that pros may outweigh the cons.

I suspect the information is hype. Babble if you like. Similar to the Haskap berry propaganda.

Haskap Berry HASKAP is the Japanese name for Lonicera caerulea. It has also been known as 'Blue Honeysuckle', 'Honeyberry', 'Edible Honeysuckle' and ...

I like Haskap berries myself! And I grow blueberries too! I have 7 different blueberry cultivars, and 3 haskap. Brazzle berries are raspberries, many Rubus species have bush forms, and they just cross bred that trait into raspberries. I have the Yellow Fall Gold, and it too is a cross with a wild Korean raspberry. Hundreds of Rubus plants have raspberry
type fruits. With that said I too have heard they are bland.
My raspberries are the only plants leafing out so far here. I have about 20 different cultivars. Yellow, red, purple, and black.

speaking of Korean raspberries, they actually make some really tasty wine

Well, I fell for their hype. Blueberries don't do well in my area (alkaline) so I went a different route. I just received 2 Honeyberry tiny twigs from Gurneys. They take 5 years to fruit. I'll report back!

They grow fast but I would get more, well different cultivars. Aurora, Borealis, and Tundra are awesome cultivars. Available here:

Expensive, and will be small too, but these produce the best berries.
