Description
- If you like the idea of your own blackberry hedgerow but don’t want to shred your hands and arms come picking time, then ‘Chester’ is the variety for you!
- ‘Chester’ produces deliciously flavourful blackberries on spineless stems, making harvesting your fruit a pain-free doddle.
- The fruits are preceded by the appearance of delicate, five-petalled flowers which are either white or blushed with pale pink.
- Vigorous, hardy (like, practically bomb-proof) and with good resistance to pests and diseases, this blackberry really is a top performer.
- Train your blackberry plant(s) between freestanding posts or against a wall/fence. This helps you more easily separate old and new growth.
