Rubus fruticosus cv. CHESTER (Thornless) 60-80cm Rubus fruticosus cv. CHESTER (spinless), commonly known as Chester Thornless Blackberry, is a highly regarded cultivar of the blackberry species Rubus fruticosus. This particular variety is known for its sweet and juicy fruit, which is borne on thornless canes, making it a popular choice for home gardeners and commercial growers alike. Here's a brief description and some cultivation tips for Rubus fruticosus 'Chester': Chester Thornless Blackberry is a deciduous shrub that typically reaches heights of 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters) and spreads to a similar width. It features compound leaves with serrated edges and produces clusters of large, sweet, and flavorful blackberries. What sets this cultivar apart is its thornless canes, which make harvesting the delicious fruit a breeze. The berries are typically ready for harvest in mid to late summer, boasting a rich, dark color and a delectable taste that is perfect for fresh consumption, baking, or making preserves. Cultivation: Climate: Chester Thornless Blackberries thrive in temperate climates with well-defined seasons. They are hardy and can withstand cold winters. Sunlight: Plant your blackberry bushes in a location that receives full sun, with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Adequate sunlight is essential for optimal fruit production. Soil: Provide well-draining, fertile soil with good organic content. Blackberries prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH level around 6.0 to 7.0. Spacing: Space the blackberry plants approximately 4 to 6 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season and fruiting period. Regular, deep watering is essential for developing plump and juicy berries. Support: Install a trellis system or supports to keep the canes upright and prevent them from sprawling on the ground. This also facilitates easier access for harvesting. Pruning: Prune the canes regularly to remove spent or dead growth and to maintain a manageable size. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth and fruit production. Pest and Disease Control: Keep an eye out for common blackberry pests like aphids and spotted-wing drosophila. Additionally, protect your plants from fungal diseases like powdery mildew by providing proper air circulation and avoiding overhead watering. Harvesting: Harvest the ripe blackberries when they are fully black and easily detach from the stem with a gentle tug. Be careful not to bruise or squeeze the fruit during harvesting. Rubus fruticosus 'Chester' is a delightful and productive addition to gardens and orchards, offering the sweet reward of thornless blackberries that are perfect for snacking, baking, and preserving. By following these cultivation tips, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious and easy-to-pick berries. IMPORTANT: Please be aware that picture 1 show adult plant FRUIT not for sale, the offer is for a plant in the dimension indicated in title description.
