from July to mid-September
A modern blackberry variety developed in Scotland, Loch Ness is a self-pollinating, thornless cultivar. It is one of the most sought-after blackberries in Europe. Its favorable balance of sugars, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants places it among the highest quality blackberries. Loch Ness delivers top results when irrigated. Its deep black color remains even after freezing and processing, and the firmness of the fruit makes it the most transportable blackberry.
The fruit has an excellent flavor, reminiscent of wild blackberries, making it highly desirable in European markets. The ripe berries are sweet with a slight tartness and a pleasant aromatic profile.
The berries are very large, with weights exceeding 6.5 grams, compact in shape, and glossy black. Sugar content can reach up to 15 Brix (highest among all varieties in our market), with acidity around 10 g/l, giving the taste an authentic wild blackberry flavor. Its balance of sugars, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants ranks it among the finest blackberries.
Self-pollinating.
Among all new varieties, Loch Ness has the highest resistance to diseases and frost. With proper protection during flowering, it shows low sensitivity to gray mold. It also has excellent tolerance to purple spot and downy mildew, with slight susceptibility to Botrytis (gray mold) only in cases of poor or inadequate protection.
You can purchase seedlings of Blackberry Loch Ness at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
