Rubus ×loganobaccus
Also called Boysenberry, Phenomenal Berry, Tayberry
A hybrid bramble (blackberry times raspberry) grown for its dark red, edible berries, usually in home gardens. Its vigorous, thorny canes need regular pruning of old wood to keep fruiting productive.
The loganberry (Rubus × loganobaccus) is a hybrid of the North American blackberry (Rubus ursinus) and the European raspberry (Rubus idaeus), accidentally bred in 1881 by James Harvey Logan, for whom they are named. It is cultivated for its edible fruit.
Loganberry plants are sturdy and more disease- and frost-resistant than many other berries. They are not very popular with commercial growers, though, due to several problems that increase labor costs: The plants tend to be thorny; the berries are often hidden by the leaves; and berries of varying maturity may grow on a single plant, making harvesting more complicated and less efficient, so loganberries are more commonly grown in household gardens.
A loganberry bush usually produces about 10 canes (vines). The canes are not as upright as its raspberry parent, and tend instead to vine more like its blackberry parent. Growth can be undisciplined, with the canes growing five or more feet in a year. Some gardeners train the canes fanwise along a wall or a wire frame. Old canes die after their second year and should be cut away; they can become diseased, and they also hinder harvesting from newer growth.
Loganberries are consumed fresh or used for juice or in jams, pies, crumbles, fruit syrups, and country wines.
