Loganberry

Rubus × loganobaccus

Loganberry is a cross between Pacific dewberry and red raspberry, grown on a trellis for its long, acid-sweet fruit that leans toward jam, jelly and cooking rather than eating fresh off the cane. It fruits heavily and needs no other plant nearby to pollinate it, but hand-picking is real work unless you seek out a thornless selection like LY654. Each cane grows one season and fruits and dies the next, so cutting out the spent wood and tying in new growth is the annual chore, and any arching tip left to touch soil will root and start a new plant on its own.
