Can you see "Progeny from Logan's original plant was introduced to Europe in 1897"?

That's the 'breeding true', otherwise there would be no loganberries grown from that progeny in e.g. the UK

In my garden I have loganberry canes that put out runners every year which I give away to friends and family, and which grow into fruit-bearing loganberry bushes, and I - well, my gardener - has grown loganberry plants from the seeds of fruit from those canes

In the UK an X in a species name identifies a non-fertile hybrid (q.v. Liger) so the species name is Rubus loganobaccus ref. CABI digital library

We are 'officially' using a mixture

Pints of beer, litres of milk

Pounds and ounces for babies, kg for food

Barleycorns for shoes, cm for hats

Miles for distance, litres for petrol

Fahrenheit for summer temperatures, Celcius for winter (this is the one likely to die away first)
