Hello,
I'd like to plant a couple of tayberry bushes in my garden. For those of ou not familiar with tayberries (i wasn't until yesterday!), they're a hybrid of blackberries and raspberries. According to most of the the information i've found, they can be planted any time from september to april - eg:

'd been planning to plant them in the next couple of weeks, but then it struck me: is there any advantage to doing this over planting them in the early spring? Indeed, if i leave it until spring, isn't that avoiding the risk of them getting damaged by frost or waterlogging over winter?FWIW, i live in London (the original one), where the winter is cold but never arctic, and autumn and winter are generally pretty wet.
Thanks for any advice, tom
