Thornless and prolific. The best garden blackberry — heavy crops of large, sweet berries from August.
Flavour
Sweet and rich with a classic blackberry tang, Loch Ness berries offer a full-bodied flavour that balances sugar and acidity perfectly.
In the kitchen
Ideal for grilling whole on skewers or incorporating into smoky BBQ sauces, their sweetness intensifies over fire, adding depth to both sweet and savoury dishes.
Growing
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with full sun exposure; being thornless makes harvesting easier, and the variety is known for its vigorous, prolific growth.
