This starter plug arrives ready to establish in a garden bed or container, making it a practical choice for home growers who want a head start on the season. The plants produce firm, sweet berries with a classic blackberry flavor and are self-pollinating, so a single plant can set fruit on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChester Blackberry works well in edible landscapes, berry patches, and large patio containers. The canes are thornless, which makes harvesting and routine care more comfortable, and the plants typically bear fruit on second-year canes. Use the berries fresh, frozen, baked into desserts, or cooked into jams and sauces. Plant in full sun with good air movement for the best results.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Rubus fruticosus\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Chester\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Thornless blackberry\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, trailing canes\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, slightly acidic loam\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Fruit on second-year canes\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 5-8\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 3-5 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Self-pollinating; water regularly during establishment\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664398581896,"sku":"BTR-146","price":34.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_68a5410f-691f-483b-8122-6b82015601ca.png?v=1791897417","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/1-chester-blackberry-live-plant-thornless-rubus-fruticosus-starter-plug","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
