Loch Ness is a thornless blackberry variety producing very high yields of large, firm, glossy black fruit with excellent flavour.

Picking starts in early August and continues until the first frost, giving a long and productive harvest window.

Loch Ness has good resistance to purple blotch and Botrytis, though it can be susceptible to dieback and to downy mildew in warm, wet weather in June.

Shelf life is excellent.
