Chester Blackberry 140MM

I am a thornless Blackberry specifically bred to be high yielding and produce large fruit that is easy to harvest over an extended period during summer, typically from December to March. I am well behaved and don’t sucker. I will perform at my best in areas with cold winters which aid crop quantity and quality. My canes are semi erect and should be supported on a trellis for easy management and harvest. Train them by plaiting them through the wires to ensure even coverage. Prune to manage spread when I am actively growing and remove the old canes in winter as I fruit on last year’s stems (one year wood). Being self-fertile only one plant is required to get a bountiful harvest. I will perform at my best in full sun and in rich, fertile, free draining soil. Avoid planting me with direct exposure to hot afternoon sun. Water regularly when I am actively growing, flowering and setting fruit.
