Loganberries

Loganberries are a tart hybrid plant.

I love loganberries, and have always tried terribly hard to make sure Iâ€™m growing one wherever I live. Iâ€™ve moved this loganberry down from the allotment to my garden, and itâ€™s just starting to produce fruit. This is the best year weâ€™ve had from this plant: it has dozens of tart berries on it.

Loganberries are a hybrid between a blackberry called ‘Aughinbaughâ€™ and a raspberry. They grow more like a blackberry, fruiting on year-old canes which need trimming back after fruiting. Iâ€™m growing this one against one of the tall wooden walls that terrace my hilly garden. I tend to sprinkle fish, blood and bone on them in the spring, and mulch with well-rotted manure. But other than that, theyâ€™re well-behaved berries that jolly well get on with it.
