Loganberry Plants

About Loganberry Plants

Loganberry plants are a remarkable cross between the raspberry and the blackberry. First developed in the late 19th century, they’ve become a favourite for gardeners wanting hardy, reliable berry crops. Their trailing canes produce clusters of deep red berries bursting with flavour, perfect for eating fresh, making jams, or adding to desserts.

Well-suited to New Zealand’s diverse climates, loganberry plants flourish in fertile, well-drained soil with regular sun. These robust plants establish quickly and reward gardeners with generous crops from midsummer. Loganberries are also known for their disease resistance and low maintenance needs, making them ideal for both beginners and experienced growers.

For gardeners who want to get started with a trusted variety, Loganberry Waimate is a popular and reliable choice for home cultivation.

Planting and Caring for Loganberry Plants

Loganberry plants thrive when planted in a sunny spot with protection from harsh winds. They benefit from a strong support system, such as a fence or trellis, to guide their vigorous growth. Add organic compost to the planting hole and water deeply after planting.

During the growing season, mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning after fruiting encourages healthy new growth and enhances next year’s harvest. Kane-grown loganberry plants require minimal chemicals, making them a great fit for organic or eco-friendly gardens.
