Loganberry Thornless
The loganberry is a cross between a raspberry and a blackberry. The fruit is dark red in colour and longer than a raspberry. It is juicier but has a sharper flavour than raspberry. The Loganberry fruit ripens over a long period in July and August. For best flavour it should be allowed to fully ripen to a dark red colour before picking. It is best used for jams and summer puddings but can also be eaten fresh. Ideal against a wall or fence, or along wires. Spread 12-15 feet. Click on the image to buy.
3 Litre = Container grown and can be planted all year round. The size refers to the number of litres of compost that the container holds.
Plant 6–10 feet apart (1.8–3 m). These plants should also not be set too deeply and after planting bare root canes should be cut back to 9” (23 cm).
The young shoots arising from the base of the plant are tied in as they grow and then the old 9” stub can be removed.
Subsequently pruning is similar to raspberries, canes that have fruited are cut out immediately after fruiting.
