Strawberry
Learn the basics of growing your very own strawberries and raspberries.
What do you get when you cross a raspberry and a blackberry? The best of a both worlds - a loganberry! This fruit is named after the horticulturist James Logan, who accidentally created this hybrid. Loganberries have a slightly elongated shape like a blackberry, but are dark purplish-red, like a raspberry.
They’re incredibly juicy and worth growing at home, especially as they’re difficult to find in store. The canes can grow up to 2m tall and 3m wide, but they can be cut back to help keep them compact. For best fruiting potential, grow in cool-temperate or cold climates.
Fruit can get spoilt from extreme heat and sunshine. Cover with shadecloth to protect the fruit – it also helps keep birds away from your harvest!
