Loganberry

Loganberry is a flavorful cross between a blackberry and a red raspberry, combining the best qualities of both fruits. This vigorous, easy-to-grow plant produces abundant clusters of large, deep wine-red berries with a rich, tangy-sweet flavor. Heat tolerant and self-pollinating, Loganberries thrive in a variety of climates and require little maintenance, making them an excellent choice for home gardeners.

Enjoy them fresh from the vine, or put their delicious taste to good use in juices, jams, jellies, pies, syrups, and other desserts. Whether preserved or eaten straight from the plant, Loganberries offer a delicious burst of summer flavor!

Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: May be planted in any well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the roots meet the stem) is about 1-2" below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Fertilize newly set plants 2-3 weeks after planting and again in early summer. Water well during growth, and consider mulching to conserve water until the following spring, when the mulch should be removed to let the plants warm up. In winter, cut back to about 5 canes per crown. Cane berries prefer a deep, well-drained, fertile soil. Thrive in most soil types. Plant late winter to early spring. Space 3' in a row with 8'-10' between rows.

Pests or Diseases: Fairly resistant to disease and frost.
