Loganberries are a hybrid of the blackberry and raspberry.
The berry looks like a the largest size blackberry but has a dark bright red colour.
The loganberry can be eaten raw and is also popular in making jams, jellies and wine.
Ripe fruit tastes like a combination of the blackberry and raspberry.
Loganberries have a very high Vitamin C content and were historically used by the British Navy in the prevention of scurvy.
The season starts before blackberries and lasts for about 2 months.
