Chester Blackberry - Late Fruiting
This blackberry was bred in the USA and is ideally suited to the British climate. Chester starts cropping in mid-August and usually carries on until the first frosts. We were still picking from stock plants in November 2007.
Blackberries are enormously vigorous and need to be spaced at 2 metre intervals in the row. They are best kept looped over and under on straining wires, and a mature plant will easily cover wires spaced at 30cm - 12" intervals to a height of 150 cms - 4'6"
Chester produces huge yields of berries that are delicious straight off the plant, under cream, and in trifles, jams, crumbles, summer pudding…anywhere really. And, joy of joys, you do not need a first aid kit when you have finished picking as the plants are thornless.
Chester Blackberry plants do not like being moved when bareroot, so all these plants are container grown, ready for delivery year round.
