The Best Berry for Big Harvests

,

I announce the best producing and best value berry you could be growing in your garden – The Loganberry.

It started with one vine and now grows three vines every year bursting with dark red fruit than looks like a longer raspberry. It is incredible value for money and never disappoints with its harvest.

What is a Loganberry?

Loganberries

A loganberry is a cross between a raspberry and a blackberry. It has sweetness and tartness that makes it magical to eat straight off the vine or use in fruit pies. It is picked when it turns a very dark red, this is when it is at it’s sweetest.

Why is Loganberry, the best berry to grow?

  • Value for money – From one plant, it grows 2-4 vines a year which next year will bear all your fruit.
  • Taste – The burst of sweetness and tartness rolled into one berry.
  • Bumper Harvests – The berries just keep coming for harvest in June, keep picking them otherwise they turn to mush.
  • Easy to Grow – A loganberry is a vine so it will need to be supported on a wire across a fence or wall. It then needs water & sun to grow. It’s very easy to grow.

Support Structure

As the loganberry is a vine, well it grows many vines, you will need to support the vines on a tension wire that can be screwed into a wire or fence.

How to Eat Loganberries

  • They taste great on their own and good with yogurt,
  • Make jam, syrup or pies and crumbles.
  • Make ice pops / lollies.
