We placed a big order of fruit bearing plants from Hartmann’s this spring. Among those plants were Chester BlackBerry. They were initially a bit smaller and more frail looking than the Triple Crown were, and took a while longer to really take off, but I’m very pleased with their growth. We installed a large berry patch early this spring, including thornless blackberries, red raspberries, black raspberries and blueberries, and so far ALL of them are kicking butt! I’m so impressed I recommend Hartmann’s to everyone!
