Excerpt from Santa Cruz County; a faithful reproduction in print and photography of its climate, capabilities, and beauties (1896). The Loganberry, being a variety unfamiliar to people in any other place, I will devote more space to its account than to others. From a circular giving its history I extract these notes: The Loganberry originated with Judge J. H. Logan, of Santa Cruz, Cal., from whom it derives its name. Several years ago, growing in his garden, were plants of the Aughinbaugh blackberry and Red Ant ...

Fruits of temperate climates are almost universally borne on trees or woody shrubs or lianas. They will not grow adequately in the tropics, as they need a period of cold (a chilling requirement) each year before they will flower. The apple, pear, cherry, and plum are the most widely grown and eaten, owing to their adaptability. Many other fruits are important regionally but do not figure prominently in commerce. Many sorts of small fruit on this list are gathered from the wild, just as they were in Neolithic times. ...

Interspecific hybrids are bred by mating two species, normally from within the same genus. The offspring display traits and characteristics of both parents. The offspring of an interspecific cross may be sterile. Sterility is attributed to the different number of chromosomes the two species have, for example donkeys have 62 chromosomes, while horses have 64, mules have 63. Mules and other sterile interspecific hybrids cannot produce viable gametes because the extra chromosome cannot make a homologous pair at meiosis, meiosis is dis ...

Fruits in this category are not hardy to extreme cold, as the preceding temperate fruits are, yet tolerate some frost and may have a modest chilling requirement. Notable among these are natives of the Mediterranean: Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas; Cornaceae) Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera; Arecaceae) Fig (Ficus spp. Moraceae) Grape, called raisin, sultana, or currant when it is dried (Vitis spp.; Vitaceae) Jujube (Ziziphus zizyphus; Rhamnaceae) Black m ...

Loganberries may be eaten without preparation as well as used as an ingredient in jams, pies, crumbles, fruit syrups and country wines. Loganberries, in common with other blackberry/raspberry hybrids, can be used interchangeably with raspberries or blackberries in most recipes. A use common to Southern Ontario, Canada, and Western New York, USA, is the Loganberry Drink. While the Loganberry is primarily harvested in the Western United States, growers there were unaware that a niche market existed for a Loganberry derived drink to the ...

Loganberries fruits late in the year, August to September (blackberries, however, fruit later). Plants continue to fruit for around 15 years. They can self-propagate. Each bush can produce 7kg to 8kg per bush, where each bush has about ten canes. Some gardners train the canes fanwise along a wall or a wire frame. The berries are generally harvested when they are a deep purple colour, rather than th ...

The loganberry is generally thought to be derived from a cross between the Red Antwerp raspberry and the American blackberry Aughinburgh. It was accidentally created in 1880 or1881 in Logan Heights near Santa Cruz, California by the American lawyer and horticulturist James Harvey Logan (1841-1928). In the 1880s, berry growers began to cross varieties to obtain better commercial varieties. Logan was unsatisfied with the existing varieties of blackberries and tried to cross two varieties of blackbe ...
