Giant raspberry - Rubus x loganobaccus 'Loganberry' (fruits xl, without thorns)
Rubus loganobaccus 'Loganberry' is a cross between a North American blackberry cultivar (Rubus ursinus 'Aughinbaugh') and a European raspberry cultivar (Rubus idaeus 'Texas Early') , accidentally created in 1881 in California.

In the case of specimens planted in private gardens, productions of up to 35 kg/adult specimen were reported. The fruits are firm and have a long shelf life.
