Product description
The Loganberry plant is a Rubus hybrid commonly grown in household gardens. Loganberries are the size of very large blackberries but dark red, almost purple when ripe as they are a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry. The slightly tart, high-flavoured fruit are extremely juicy. This plant is very easy to grow and can continue to fruit for up to 15 years.
Plant the Loganberry bush in a sunny location. Prefers well-draining, sandy, loamy soil. Keep well-watered over their first growing season, especially in dry weather. Add composted manure or another fertiliser in autumn or early spring.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune Loganberry canes each year to promote healthy growth and improve fruit production.
How to Water
Water Loganberries regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply at the base of the plant to encourage strong root growth.
How to Plant
Plant Loganberry in well-draining, fertile soil with full sun or partial shade. Space plants 60-90cm apart, and plant them deeply enough to cover the root ball. Provide a sturdy trellis or support for the canes to climb.
