Thornless Loganberry Plant: A Garden Delight

The Thornless Loganberry (Rubus loganobaccus) is a fantastic addition to any home garden, offering a unique cross between a red raspberry and a blackberry. These potted, staked plants produce large berries with a rich flavor, perfect for fresh eating, juicing, pies, wine, jams, and jellies. This self-pollinating variety is incredibly sturdy and disease-resistant, making it ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners. Plus, its heat tolerance ensures a bountiful harvest even in warmer climates.

Imagine harvesting up to 15 pounds of berries per plant when mature! The Thornless Loganberry ripens over an extended period, from mid-summer until mid-autumn, providing a continuous supply of delicious fruit. Plant your Loganberry 4-6 feet apart in full sun to 1/2 day sun in fertile, loamy, well-drained soil within USDA Zones 6-10. During the first year, the canes will sprawl, so be prepared to tie them to a fence or trellis in the spring of the second year when they will begin to bear fruit. Enjoy fresh berries with ease and minimal effort!
