Notes

Loganberry (Rubus loganobaccus) is a shrub for fresh eating, freezing, canning, and baking. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The fruit is dark red and tastes mild, with a flavor that blends raspberry and blackberry. The canes are almost thornless and need support, and the heavy summer crop draws bees.

Pairs well with Juneberry, Golden Delicious apple, and Rose of sharon.
