FAQs
Is the Loganberry 'LY654' actually thornless?
Yes, this specific variety is bred to produce thornless canes, making it much safer and easier to handle than traditional wild brambles.
Can I grow this in a container?
While it prefers open ground, it can be grown in a large, deep container provided you have a strong trellis system for the canes to climb.
When is the best time to harvest?
Harvesting typically occurs in the summer months when the berries have turned a deep, rich red color and detach easily from the plug.
Does it need a pollinator?
The plant is self-fertile and pollinator-friendly, meaning you do not need to plant a second variety to achieve a successful crop.
How do I maintain the shape of the plant?
Tie new stems to your trellis as they grow and prune away old, spent canes after the harvest is complete to encourage healthy new growth for next season.
Troubleshooting
Fruit is small or dry
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate water during the summer fruiting period, especially during dry spells.
Canes are wilting
Check for waterlogged soil; ensure the planting site has excellent drainage and is not sitting in standing water.
Poor fruit production
Ensure the plant is positioned in a sunny spot; lack of light significantly reduces yields.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, plant your Loganberry 'LY654' in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. The soil must be well-drained and fertile; if your soil is heavy clay, incorporate organic matter prior to planting. Since this is a trailing variety, you must install a trellis, wire system, or fan-shaped support structure immediately upon planting. Tie the young canes to your chosen support system as they grow to keep the plant organized and to ensure the fruit stays off the ground, which prevents spoilage and eases the harvest process.
