How to Grow Loganberry
Rubus × loganobaccus
Loganberries are vigorous cane fruits trained on wires, producing long dark red tart berries from mid to late summer. An excellent cooking fruit for jams, pies, and wine. Prune after harvest by removing fruited canes and tying in new growth. Feed in spring and water well during fruiting. Net against birds.

Train on wires
Tie new canes along horizontal wires, keeping them separate from fruiting canes. Fan training works well.
Best for cooking
Loganberries are tart when raw but transform when cooked. Excellent for jam, crumbles, and fruit wine.
Remove old canes promptly
Cut fruited canes to the ground after harvest. This reduces disease and gives new canes more light and air.
Choose thornless varieties
Thornless loganberry (LY654) is much easier to manage and equally productive.
