A Brief History of the Loganberry:

The Loganberry was accidentally developed in the late 1800s by James Harvey Logan, a California judge and horticulturist. While experimenting with growing loganberries by crossing blackberries and raspberries, he discovered this new hybrid variety, which soon became a favorite for its large, juicy fruit and robust growth. The thornless version was later developed to make harvesting easier while preserving the unique flavor and deep red color of the original Loganberry.

Planting & Care Tips for Loganberry Plants:

• Sun Requirements: Prefers full sun for maximum fruit production.

• Soil Needs: Thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with good moisture retention.

• Support & Training: Benefits from trellises or support structures to encourage upright growth and easy picking.

• Pruning: Trim spent canes after fruiting to encourage new growth and improve next season’s harvest.

• Spacing: Plant 3-5 feet apart to allow ample airflow and proper development.
