Chester Late Fruiting Blackberry
This blackberry was bred in the USA but is ideally suited to British climate and conditions. 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. There are best kept 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.
Unfortunately, Chester does not like being moved when bare rooted, so all these plants are container grown.
