Loch Tay Blackberry Bushes

Description of Loch Tay Plants & Fruit:
Loch Tay is a really handy little plant. Compact, upright and thornless, it comes into season early. While the berries are not so big, they have an excellent fruity burst flavour.

Browse our variety of blackberry bushes or see our full range of soft fruit plants for sale.

Self-fertile.
Thornless.
Upright growth.
Fruit weight is around 3.5g
Rich & sweet - one of our favourites!

Growing Loch Tay Blackberry Plants:

Generally, blackberries are grown along wires, but Loch Tay is an upright variety. You can grow it up a single post or in with a row of raspberries.
Spacing: You can plant Loch Tay quite close together in a row. 4' / 1.2 metres apart is more than enough.

Read our detailed information on how to grow blackberries here.

Background Information on Loch Tay Blackberry Bushes:

Bred from the other excellent upright thornless blackberry, Loch Ness, at the former Scottish Crop Research Institute near Dundee, which is now called the James Hutton Institute.

Pallets (Root balls, large pots, trees etc) £60.00 including VAT per order (FREE For ORDERS Over £240 inc VAT)

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
