Perfect for smaller gardens, Blackberry ‘Loch Tay’ produces short, upright canes that are easy to manage and require minimal support, just a simple post will do. Best of all, it’s completely thornless, making fruit picking a breeze for all ages.


This variety offers rich, full-flavoured berries that ripen from mid-August, ideal for eating fresh, freezing, or turning into jams and desserts. When well established, each plant can produce up to 10lb of fruit, making it a fantastic choice for productive gardens.


‘Loch Tay’ is a modern, Scottish-bred variety developed by the SCRI (Scottish Crop Research Institute), selected for both flavour and ease of growing. A brilliant addition to patios, allotments, or any sunny garden spot.

Guide To Plant Sizes

Bare Root Plants: Several of our plants come supplied as bare roots. Despite appearances, they are alive and well. They have been previously grown in the ground and lifted when dormant throughout the winter months, so that when you receive them, they are strong, full of energy and ready to be planted out. This is our most economical way to buy many plant varieties including roses, strawberries, trees and bushes.


Seedlings: Seedlings are young plants that have grown from seeds and are still small, usually with just a few leaves. They are in the early stages of growth and are ready to be potted on or planted outdoors to continue developing.


Plug Plants: A wide range of our varieties come in plug size, including Strawberries, Tomatoes, Chillis, Peppers, Cucumbers and Courgettes. Grown in individual cells with a bio-degradable membrane that will break down in the soil, no need to remove before planting. Pot and grow on to form larger plants that can be planted later in the season. Protect from frost if necessary.


9cm Plants: Our 9cm plants are larger and much more established than our plug ranges, meaning they are ready to plant out straight away. These will establish quickly and produce flower and fruit much quicker than smaller plugs. Protect from frost if required.


1L+ Plants: A substantial plant with many already developed flowers or even early onset of fruit if the season has been early. Great for filling in gaps or plating into patio containers.


Grafted Plants: Grafted plants are created by joining together two different plant varieties, typically by attaching the stem of one onto the root system of another. This process allows for desirable traits, such as disease resistance or better fruit production, to be combined into a single plant.
