One was the loganberry; the others included the 'Mammoth' blackberry. [7] Since Logan's time, crosses between the cultivars of raspberry and blackberry have confirmed the loganberry's parentage, with an earlier theory that the loganberry originated as a red-fruiting form of the common Californian blackberry Rubus ursinus now disproved. [8]

James Harvey Logan (December 8, 1841 – July 16, 1928) [1] was a judge in Santa Cruz, California, and an amateur botanist credited with the 1881 creation of the loganberry, a cross between the raspberry and the blackberry. He was District Attorney in the 1870s and a Superior Court Judge during the 1880s and 1890s.
The plant has a growth habit similar to that of the blackberry. Fruits grow on short laterals on prickly canes 1.8 to 2.1 m (6 to 7 ft) long. [2] The cropping period is long, from early mid- to late-summer. Having a strong flavor, the tayberry is less acidic than the loganberry. [2]
Rubus ursinus is a wide, mounding shrub or vine, growing to 0.61–1.52 metres (2–5 feet) high, and more than 1.8 m (6 ft) wide. [3] The prickly branches can take root if they touch soil, thus enabling the plant to spread vegetatively and form larger clonal colonies.
