| No, loganberries are not cold hardy but you can grow them there if you cover them for the winter. The loganberries I grow are not sweet. |

| My loganberries were plenty sweet. I also had to cover them, they only do OK uncovered if winter lows are above 10F. Scott |

| My area (NKY) and probably grape-2006's is getting below zero this week, so that would likely kill the loganberry to the ground if not covered. Scott: I really wonder how we ended up with such different results on loganberries. Mine were a mix of tart and bland, so I pulled all of them except one mature loganberry I have potted. I kept it for the sole purpose of using it for possible hybridizing. I'm going to give that a try this year. |

| It sounds like we had a different berry. There are several different variants out there; the original is in fact thorny and I was growing a thornless variant. Did yours have a fairly strong clove/allspice component to the flavor? Mine sure did. In looking through my old order files it looks like I got some from Stark Bros and some from Raintree. Scott |
