Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip

Plant Chester Blackberry in full sun for the best yields and richest flavor. It prefers well-drained soil and benefits from consistent watering during fruit development. Prune canes that have finished fruiting down to the ground each fall or winter, leaving the new canes that will bear next year’s crop. Consider using a simple wire or trellis system to keep the canes upright and organized for easy picking. Pair it with earlier-ripening blackberry varieties to extend your harvest season and ensure a steady supply of berries through late summer.
