Chester Thornless Blackberry | Rubus

Great all-around blackberry — firm but not tart. It is the most productive plant of its kind that you can grow in the upper Midwest. Fruit won’t soften, leak, or lose color in the South either. Tolerates hot, dry weather. Productive canes yield berries perfect for fresh-eating, preserves, and baking. Summer-bearing floricane. Thornless, semi-erect. Late season. Ripens in July. Self-pollinating.
