Can Marionberries Revert Back To The Ollalie Or Chehalem Berry?

Question

My marionberries in the last 2-3 years appear more like a blackberry in shape–more rounded and smaller. They don’t have the elongated shape. They still have the tarter taste and flavor of the Marionberry. What has happened?

Answer 1
