The fruit is sizable, red and succulent with a sharp taste. A common soft fruit that was originally discovered in Judge Logan's garden in Calfornia in 1880. This is a thornless wide range which requires similar conditions to blackberries but more heat and sunlight. A full of flavour berry for jams, jellies and pies but not so great for eating.

Soil Type: any soil.
Growth Rate: vigorous.
Other Characteristics: sizable, dark red fruit (mid July to August)Hardiness: fully hardy.
Plant Care: Prepare the ground well before planting. Remove all weeds and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure in to the area. Once planted, shorten the canes to about 23cm (9in). Each spring, mulch well with well-rotted manure. Plants flower on one-year-old wood, so the new canes need to be separated from fruiting ones. After cropping, cut the fruiting canes down to the ground and tie in the new ones that have grown that year
