The loganberry was derived from a cross between Rubus ursinus (R. vitifolius) 'Aughinbaugh' as the female parent and Rubus idaeus 'Red Antwerp' as the male parent (pollen source).

The loganberry (Rubus × loganobaccus) is an hexaploid hybrid produced from pollination of a plant of the octaploid blackberry cultivar 'Aughinbaugh' (Rubus ursinus) by a diploid red raspberry (Rubus idaeus).

The larvae feed on a wide range of plants, including Vaccinium myrtillus, Clematis vitalba, Rubus idaeus, Erica and Betula species.
Current threats include skiers trespassing in the protected area and expansion of other species including Tufted Hair-grass, Red Raspberry and Hypericum maculatum.
The larvae feed various plants and trees, including Betula (including Betula verrucosa), Myrica gale, Carex, Salix, Populus tremula, Rubus idaeus, Sorbus aucuparia, Vicia cracca, Rhamnus frangula, Lysimachia vulgaris, Vaccinium myrtillus and Galium verum.
It grows in the margins of forests or unforested areas as woods in regeneration, prickly woodland fringes, with other thorny shrub species (for example, Clematis vitalba, Crataegus monogyna, Malus sylvestris, Prunus spinosa, Rubus idaeus or Rubus ulmifolius).
They over winter, and feed on various plants in spring, including Viola, Plantago, Crataegus, Prunus spinosa, Rubus idaeus and Quercus.
The essential ingredients that justify the adjective are red summer berries such as redcurrant, blackcurrant, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, bilberries and stoned black cherries.
The larvae feed on a wide range of plants, including Betula species (Betula verrucosa, Betula pubescens, Betula nana), Alnus incana, Salix caprea, Salix pentandra, Salix aurita, Salix cinerea, Salix phylicifolia, Populus tremula, Philadelphus coronarius, Rubus idaeus, Filipendula ulmaria, Sorbus aucuparia, Vaccinium uliginosum and Ledum palustre.
The larvae feed on various herbaceous and woody plants, including Fragaria virginiana, Rubus idaeus, Malus, Alnus, Sambucus nigra and Viola.
Ellagitannins and ellagic acid have been found as natural components in 46 different foods, with the red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) identified as a major source.
