Loganberry hybrid berry plant is a blackberry × raspberry hybrid, producing large fruits often known in French as “muroises”.
The fruits are very large and elongated, becoming very dark red, almost black, at harvest. Their flavour leans more towards raspberry.
Loganberry is not everbearing. It produces one abundant harvest in July and August, when the fruits have taken on a very dark red colour.
This plant prefers cool, rather acidic soils. Mulching with fragmented ramial wood can help recreate conditions similar to a woodland edge and support good growth.
After fruiting, remove the canes that have finished cropping and keep the strongest young canes for the following season. Training the canes and keeping the plant open helps support fruit production and reduce disease pressure, including botrytis.
Loganberry is self-fertile, so a single plant can produce fruit.
