Rubus fruticosus agg. 'Loch Ness'
Blackberry 'Loch Ness' is a compact, highly productive blackberry with strong, upright, thornless canes. Its manageable growth makes it easier to train and maintain than many traditional varieties, while the absence of thorns allows comfortable picking.
Heavy crops of firm, glossy black berries ripen from mid-August until the first frosts. The large, conical fruits have a rich, tangy blackberry flavour and are excellent for eating fresh or using in pies, crumbles, desserts, jams and preserves.
Self-fertile, hardy and reliable, 'Loch Ness' performs best in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Train the canes against a wall, fence or supporting wires, removing the old fruited stems after harvesting and tying in the new growth.
