Loch Ness Thornless Blackberry – 2 Plant Bundle

Description

An excellent, new, late ripening thornless blackberry.  Produces large yields of firm, medium-sized berries bursting with an intensely sweet-tart flavor perfect for fresh eating and processing.  Very flavorful!  Hardy and resilient, performs well under adverse conditions.  Very disease and insect resistant.  Does well in the Southeast/Mid-Atlantic.  Compact semi-erect vines are easy to manage and keep under control.  All-around superior qualities.  We’ve been testing it for over 5 years now and find it worthy to add to the list of superior blackberries.  Would make a nice garden blackberry variety as it’s vines are more compact and it’s thornless.
