Raspberry Logan

Raspberry Logan, Rubus strigosus 'Logan', has black raspberries, affectionately known as Blackcaps by growers, that are native to North America. These uniquely flavored berries are popular in specialty foods, especially jams and ice cream, and are used as a coloring agent as well. The fruit is blue black, round and small 2.0 g, and exhibits a whitish bloom on the exterior of the berry. Logan Raspberry has a distinct and moderately tart flavor, small seed and like the red raspberry, contains a hollow core. The bush will bear only on one year old stems. As soon as canes have produced fruit, prune them back to the ground to make room for the strong new canes. Additional pruning will be required to eliminate tangling and improve their ability to bear. Raspberry Logan is a very hardy and dependable producer.
