The olallieberry (Template:IPAc-en Template:Respell), sometimes spelled ollalieberry, olallaberry, olalliberry, ollalaberry or ollaliberry,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> is the marketing name for the 'Olallie' blackberry released by the USDA-ARS (in collaboration with Oregon State University). The berry was a selection from a cross between the 'Black Logan' (syn. 'Mammoth'), developed by Judge James Logan in California, and the youngberry, which was developed by Byrnes M. Young in Louisiana.
According to Judge Logan, 'Black Logan' was a cross between the eastern blackberry 'Crandall' and the western dewberry 'Aughinbaugh'.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> 'Youngberry' was from 'Phenomenal' x 'Austin Mayes'. 'Phenomenal' in turn is a cross of the 'Aughinbaugh' western dewberry and 'Cuthbert' red raspberry and so has a similar background to Logan's 'Loganberry' because it shares a parent.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Development and cultivation
The original cross was made in 1935 by George Waldo with the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS), who ran the cooperative blackberry breeding program between the USDA-ARS and Oregon State University from 1932 until the 1960s. Selected in 1937 and tested in Oregon, Washington and California as "Oregon 609" (OSC 609), it was named "Olallie" and released in 1950.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
During the 20th century, the Olallieberry was hybridized with the Chehalem blackberry to produce the Marion blackberry or Marionberry, which Template:Ndash when used as the fruit in a pie Template:Ndash was named as the official state pie of Oregon in 2017.<ref name=ORB>Marionberry, Oregon Raspberry & Blackberry Commission Template:Webarchive</ref>
