The loganberry is , perhaps , the sovereign bramble type of Chuck Berry , as it is ideal for stewing , jam- and jelly - making , bottling , canning , juice origin and wine making . The Charles Edward Berry can also be eaten as dessert when fully good , but may be too lemonlike for some palates .
Opinions are separate as to whether the loganberry is a red - fruiting form of the common Californian blackberry bush , Rubus ursinus vitifolius , or a seedling from a cross between the ` Red Antwerp ’ boo and the American blackberry ‘ Aughinburgh ’ . The plant seem in 1881 in the garden of Judge J. H. Logan of Santa Cruz , California , from whom it takes its name . It has been cultivated in England since 1897 .
The Rubus loganobaccus produces vigorous , prickly canes carrying 3- to 5 - lobed leaf . As flowering is recent , the plants may be grown in low - lying office ; springiness frosts rarely damage the peak , though severe wintertime may affect the cane . loganberry are ego - compatible and yield heavy crop of blunt , firm , very juicy , deep red berries of a plentiful look , from August to September . The issue may be sustained for 15 years or more . The berries do not stop up , so are picked complete with core . Picking is best done when the berries are quite dry .
Heavy , rather than calcareous and light and dry , grime are prefer - chalky soils induce iron and manganese deficiency . Well - drained loams and brick earths are idealistic . Rubus ursinus loganobaccus get laid rich soil and react to generous manuring . Nitrogen is the most important plant food requirement . Mulch annually with farmyard manure in former autumn or provender with 56 g ( 2 oz ) of Pisces manure and 28 g ( 1 oz ) of sulfate of potash per sq . m sq . ft ) .
A gay and exposed but sheltered web site is best with protection from northeast wind . The row should run north south .
Propagation is usually by tip layering between June and mid - August . The crown of young canes are peg down 6 - 8 centimeter ( 2 - Sin ) deep ( or weighted with a matte stone ) , into small pots fill with rooting compost and sunk in the ground . The young plants are severed from the parent cane when well root in the next February . Alternatively , leafage bud press clipping are root 6 cm ( 3 in ) asunder in a seam of arenaceous dirt in a closed and shaded garden frame in July or August . Each slip consist of a leaf and bud with a 2.5 cm ( 1 in ) length of cane barque innocent of pith . Roots are produced in three to four week ; the young plants are inure off a month later and transplant the following fountain .
Rooted tips or cut are imbed 2 - 3 m ( 6 - 10 ft ) apart in February or March againstfences , magnetic north or eastward walls , and up arch . Post and wire supports with wires at 0.6 , 1.2 and 2 m ( 2 , 4 and 6 ft ) from grease level are used on opened site . Shorten the young plants to 23 cm ( 8 in ) after implant , to promote the production of strong new shoot on which yield will be behave the following year . To trim disease transmission from the older canes , the young cane are trained fan - wise on the opposite side from the old canes . The two historic period of cane occupy alternating sides per year . Ten to 12 fruiting cane are hold back per flora . Fruiting is on one - yr - sometime cane , which are cut down to undercoat spirit level in October after fruit harvest time .
Pests and diseases are the same as those , which plan of attack raspberries .
Two good varieties are the following : ‘ LY 59 ’ , which is a computer virus - devoid dead ringer available since the previous fifties . It is free from the debilitate virus , which reduce the craw of infected loganberries . It is the arduous cropper - it may yield 8.5 kg ( 17,1b ) of yield per bush . ‘ American Thornless ’ , a prickle - free mutation was found in 1933 . It is a pleasure to prune . Slightly less vigorous than the common loganberry , it is an ideal variety for the smaller garden and may yield up to 7.5 kg ( 15 lb ) of fruit per bush .
