Chester is one of the best  blackberry varieties available because of its huge yield, sweet fruit, cold hardiness, resistance to cane blight and, of course, lack of thorns. The fast-growing canes are sturdy, but still require a little support as they can reach up to 10′ long. Fruit comes on last year’s growth, usually in July. The juiciest, most flavorful berries come from a life in full sun, attentive watering, proper mulching and good weed control.

Chester trailing thornless blackberry plant produces large deeply-flavored, absolutely delicious berries for preserves and freezing. It’s best for fresh use on ice cream or baked into cobblers and pies. The grocery-store price for blackberries is nearly prohibitive these days. When one plant can produce as much as 20 pounds of berries, you can do the math. A must-have in the home garden.

Zones: 5-9        2 year old plants
