NCASCADE BERRY 
Unequaled in klavor 
Description is from Oregon Station Bulletin 416, April, 
1943, and other sources. 
Cascade, a cross of the Zielinski selection of trailing 
wild blackberry and the Logan. The canes of Cascade, like 
those of Pacific, are somewhat more slender and are more basal 
branching than those of Logan. Cascade exceeds Pacific in 
plant vigor. It makes an especially vigorous growth the first 
season after planting, and yields a good crop the following 
year. The high yields of Cascade generally exceed those of 
Pacific and sometimes those of Boysen. 
The fruit is glossy and dark red to almost black and is 
borne on medium-long laterals. The berry is long, similar to 
that of Logan in shape and size, but in general not quite so 
large as well-grown Logan. [It is softer than Pacific or Logan 
and therefore may not be so satisfactory for the fresh fruit 
market. The fruiting season of Cascade begins about with that 
of Pacific or Logan. It is earlier than Boysen but the end of 
the fruiting season approximately coincides with that of Boy- 
sen. 
In eastern Washington, at the Irrigation Branch Experiment 
Station at Prosser, Washington, Cascade outyielded al] other 
trailing blackberries in the test. 
The flavor of Cascade, finest of all berries of this type, 
is most evident fresh, frozen and in preserves, jam, jelly, 
juices and puree. We ate some fresh picked Cascade berries at 
Boring, Oregon, and the flavor was the most delicious we ever 
tasted. The grower there wrote us: “I think Cascade is the 
finest flavor berry of all both for jam and freezing. It has 
more foliage than Pacific to protect it from sunscald.” 
Dr. George M. Darrow, of U. Ss. D. A. Station at Beltsville, 
Maryland, said in American Fruit Grower, January, 1954: “Cas- 
cade is notable for its fine flavor and attractive appearance 
in frozen pack. It is the home garden variety without an equal 
in flavor for use fresh, as jam and frozen.”

This variety is sometimes called King Nectarberry. Some say 
it is the best berry of this type they have grown. It is sim- 
ilar to Boysenberry, some claim it is the same. Some say it is 
a little larger than Boysen and ripens at the same time, 
others say it starts ripening a few days later than Boysen and 
the crop lasts till after Boysens are through.
