Description

The Loganberry is an old hybrid of blackberry and raspberry, producing elongated, dark‑red fruits with a strong, tart flavor. Raw berries are somewhat astringent, but cooked into jam or jelly they are delightful.

Care instructions

Plant the Loganberry in autumn (October, week 43) in a sunny, wind‑protected spot and attach the canes broadly to a sturdy trellis. After harvest, prune the spent canes back and train the new shoots for the next season. Mulch the root zone and water evenly from July through the ripening period.
