Blackberry (Rubus Fruticosus) 'Loch Ness' 3L

Unlike their wild relatives, cultivated blackberries produce bigger crops, are less thorny and less likely to grow out of control.

Perfect for the smaller garden, Scottish-bred blackberry 'Loch Ness' produces its large, firm, glossy-black, conical fruits on short, upright, thornless canes. This heavy cropper is capable of producing up to 3.6kg (8lb) of fruit per blackberry bush that can be harvested from mid-August until the first frosts.

Blackberries are quick to establish and easy to grow, rewarding you with flavoursome fruits to add to desserts, make your own jams or simply eat straight from the plant.
