Imagine picking sweet, delicious blackberries without getting scratched—'Loch Maree' has thornless stems for easy, pain-free harvesting.
Beyond its tasty fruit, this variety boasts beautiful double, blush-pink flowers in early summer, adding ornamental appeal.
Its semi-upright, clump-forming canes are easy to manage and don't require support, unlike many trailing types.
A fully hardy, self-fertile, and easy-to-grow variety, making it an essential choice for any soft fruit enthusiast.
Offers excellent resistance to pests and diseases for a low-maintenance crop.

Species: Blackberry
Features: Fully hardy, Self fertile, Thornless
Flowering Time: May, June
Harvest Time: July, August
Planting Time: January to December
Flower Colour: Double pink flowers
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil Type: Any moist, well-drained soil
Hardiness: H7 - Fully hardy to below -20°C
Habit: Clump-forming with semi-erect canes
Eventual Spread: 2-2.5m
Tasting Notes: Juicy, sweet and incredibly moreish
Uses: Eating fresh, jams, muffins, pies and cheesecakes

Planting: Plant 2.5m apart to allow for spreading. Blackberries grow well in most soils provided they are moist and well-drained. Working in organic matter will help improve soil structure.
Watering: Water well when establishing. During the first year, water weekly in hot, dry weather. Once established, watering is only needed during prolonged dry spells.
Feeding: Apply a high-potassium fertiliser each spring to give the plant a boost for the season ahead.
Pruning: Prune in autumn after fruiting has finished. Each year, cut the stems that have borne fruit down to their base, leaving the newer, non-fruiting canes for next year's crop.
Harvesting: Fruit grows on the previous year's canes, so you can expect your first harvest in the second year. Your biggest challenge may be keeping birds away; use horticultural netting if needed.
