Rubus ursinus
plant
Quick Summary
Rubus ursinus is the scientific name for the California blackberry. This evergreen shrub is characterized by its prostrate or semierect growth habit and produces oblong, black fruit.1
The loganberry, a species of bramble, is believed to be a hybrid that originated from Rubus ursinus and the red raspberry. The loganberry plant is vigorous with prickly canes and produces a deep wine-red, tart fruit. While hardy, commercial production of loganberries is limited due to labor-intensive harvesting and a short shelf-life.2
