Loganberry
Loganberry
Loganberry (Rubus loganobaccus) is a hybrid berry fruit, a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry. The fruit is larger than a raspberry and has a juicier and sharper flavor.
Pronunciation
Loganberry: /ˈloʊɡənbɛri/
Etymology
The loganberry was accidentally created in the late 19th century in Santa Cruz, California, by horticulturist James Harvey Logan. The name "Loganberry" is a combination of "Logan" from James Harvey Logan and "berry" from the English word for a small roundish juicy fruit.
Description
Loganberries are generally harvested when they are a deep purple color, rather than red. They are high in vitamin C and dietary fiber. The plants are more disease-resistant than many other berry crops and can be harvested from summer to early fall.
