Title: Pruning a loganberry
Post by: petefj on October 22, 2011, 18:23:21
I planted my loganberry last winter.  This year it's put on a lot of growth, but has not fruited.
How should I treat it now?  I guess it needs pruning back, can anyone advise me?

It's a few years since I had a loganberry and I don't rightly remember, but I'd guess you'd treat it the same as either a blackberry or summer-fruiting raspberry and cut out last year's canes and tie in the canes that grew this year to fruit next year.

Don't prune unless something is too long or a runner is in a hopeless place.... it's the same as a summer-fruiting raspberry, it fruits on last years wood.... you only cut out fruited canes....
