Loganberry

Rubus x loganobaccus – loganberry

APPEARANCE : Loganberries are an accidental cross between blackberries and raspberries. Long trailing fast-growing canes with large rough leaves and pale pink-white spring flowers produce heavy crops of flavoursome deep red berries (drupes) from early summer onwards. These plants are self fertile, though planting more than one often results in better yield. Loganberries start to fruit from a young age.
USE FOR :Grow your own fruit for eating fresh as healthy snacks; baking into puddings, pies, and pastries; or turning to juice and wine. Loganberries are high in Vitamin C.
CLIMATE : Completely frost hardy

PLANTING : Plant the canes against a tall trellis or taut wires, train them up and tie them in until they reach the top, then tie in new growth pointing down until you reach the bottom of the trellis. This helps increase fruit yields. Plant in full sun into any rich, well-drained soil. Space around 1.5m apart and plant quite shallow, around 10 cm deep. They prefer a lighter freer-draining soil than blackberries.

CARE : Mulch and water regularly until plant becomes established and keep watered at the roots when in flower and fruit. Prune the growing tips in summer to encourage branching, and cut out old canes in winter as they fruit on last year’s stems. The canes are thorny, and largely disease-resistant and frost-hardy.
