Chester Blackberry
General Information
Chester Blackberry will make a great addition to your fruit orchard or landscape area. This plant will grow potentially to 8 feet in height. The woody vines grow in a generally upright fashion, drooping over somewhat at the end. Beginning in mid-spring, pink flowers appear in clusters. This gives the plant a good deal of ornamental qualities. After the flowers, the blackberries form, ripening in mid to late July. The berries are large in size and have a sweet and juicy taste while retaining a firm fruit quality. The berries are great for fresh eating and for many other culinary uses. The plant is thornless, making it much easier to pick than many other blackberries.
