Loch Katrine BlackBerry Tested. Does it live up to its hype?

The Loch Katrine blackberry is a modern, thornless variety developed in the UK as part of the long-running breeding program that also produced popular cultivars like Loch Ness and Loch Tay. Named after the scenic Scottish lake, it was bred to combine high yields, excellent flavor, and ease of picking without the hassle of thorns. Loch Katrine plants produce large, glossy black berries that are both firm and juicy, making them ideal for fresh eating, desserts, or freezing. They’re known for a balanced flavor profile—sweetness with a touch of tartness—that often scores well in Brix tests (a measure of natural fruit sugars). The variety is also valued by growers because it’s vigorous, reliable, and relatively disease resistant, with fruiting canes that are easier to manage in small gardens or commercial plots alike. Its consistency and productivity have made it a popular choice for anyone looking to grow high-quality blackberries with minimal fuss.
