Lowberry. A kind of bramble berry lately originated by Stuart Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, Enfield, England. In 1908, the Royal Horticultural Society gave it an award of merit as "a reputed cross between the blackberry and the loganberry, with the color of the former and the size of the latter. The fruits had been ripened under glass." It is hardy in England, making an annual growth of 12 to 18 feet; it is recommended as an ornamental plant for arbors as well as for fruit. Apparently it has not been thoroughly tested in North America. The fruit is described as very large and long, jet-black when ripe. The flavor resembles that of the blackberry and is sweeter than the loganberry. The berries make excellent jam, with fewer seeds and less cores than that made from blackberries. The cultural treatment should be that given the loganberry. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
