Among 442 seedlings obtained by crossing Nessberries with other varieties there were some which did not possess the objectionable adherent calyx.

Resembling the loganberry of the West, the new fruit is a cross between raspberries and blackberries. It was developed because other hybrids of the berry family, such as loganberries and Nessberries, do not survive in the Northeast.

During this period he [Helge Ness] made two outstanding and historic contributions to Texas horticulture. One was the pioneering work in crossing dewberries and raspberries to produce Nessberries.
