Remove the rods right at the base just above the ground. There is not much you can do wrong, as the rods that will bear for the next year do not sprout until spring.
The remaining rods should be attached to a trellis so that they do not hang on the ground and stain the fruit. It also makes maintenance work and the harvest easier.
Maintenance cut in spring
In spring the shrub drives new rods out of the ground. However, the shrub should not have too many shoots so that the fruits become nice and large and get enough sun.
Therefore, cut out excess shoots so that air can circulate inside the shrub. This also prevents diseases caused by fungi or pests.
Only the strongest rods are allowed to stay on the bush. They are attached to the trellis immediately after the cut back.
Remove sick shoots continuously
Loganberries are very robust, but the rod disease can occasionally break out.
The disease can be recognized by the dried up and dying shoots. Immediately cut off the infected tendrils and throw them in the trash. You must never put them on the compost in the garden, as this may infect other plants later.
Thornless fruit bushes
Just like blackberries and raspberries, loganberries are not berries, but belong to the group of stone fruits.
However, the bushes are much less thorn-reinforced, so pruning and care are simpler and can be performed without gloves.
In contrast to raspberries, the loganberry forms very few or no subterranean runners. As a result, the plant does not spread as much in the garden.
Tips & Tricks
Loganberries have a slightly more sour taste than raspberries. The fruits are firmer and much larger than those of raspberries or blackberries. They are therefore very easy to transport. Delicious jellies, jams and compotes can be cooked from the fruits.
