Plant Description

The Rubus fruticosus cv. CHESTER (Thornless) is a vigorous, semi-erect blackberry shrub known for its thornless canes, making harvesting easier. It produces glossy, deep black fruits that are large, juicy, and sweet with a firm texture, ideal for fresh eating or preserves. Its white to pale pink flowers bloom in late spring, attracting pollinators. The dark green foliage provides a lush backdrop, turning slightly bronze in autumn. This cultivar is highly productive, disease-resistant, and cold-hardy.
