Blackberry Loch Katrine Plant
- First UK-bred sweet blackberry with exceptional flavour
- Large, high-yielding berries for weeks of harvest
- Thornless canes make picking and pruning easy
Product Description
Blackberry Loch Katrine Plant is the first UK-bred, genuinely sweet blackberry, bringing a breakthrough for home gardeners who value flavour and freshness. Its glossy, aromatic berries are super-sweet, with a Brix rating of up to 14%, making them perfect for snacking straight from the plant or adding to your favourite recipes.
Bred at the renowned James Hutton Institute in Scotland, Loch Katrine produces exceptionally large berries of up to 9g each – roughly double the size of most garden varieties. Each plant can yield over 400 fruits, giving up to 4kg of harvest from mid-early through to the main season, ensuring weeks of plentiful, home-grown enjoyment.
Gardeners will appreciate its thornless stems for easy picking and pruning, and upright canes that perform best when supported with wires. As a floricane variety, it fruits on last year’s growth, so simply prune away the fruited canes in late autumn and tie in the new shoots for next year’s crop.
This hardy perennial thrives in a sunny position with moist but well-drained soil, delivering firm, juicy, sweet berries with no bitterness or astringency. Perfect for fresh eating, baking, freezing, or enhancing any kitchen garden harvest.
