About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Loch Ness is a thornless, semi upright blackberry and one of the most reliable all rounders for the home garden. The sturdy, self supporting canes are easy to train on a trellis and bear plenty of large, glossy fruit from late summer onwards. It is robust, hardy and, being self fertile, needs no partner. That makes it a good first blackberry if you want little effort and a dependable harvest.

Nicely balanced between sweetness and acidity, juicy and clearly blackberry in character. Equally good eaten fresh as in juice, jelly and cakes.
