Thornless mulberry 'Chester'
FamilyRosaceae
Rubus fruticosus 'Chester' is one of the most disease-resistant varieties, particularly valued for its hardiness, longevity, and late production. Its fruits are black, glossy, medium to large, and have excellent shelf life both at harvest and during storage. Their flavor is sweet, low in acidity, and perfect for desserts or freezing. 'Chester' is a safe choice for cold or humid climates, where performance and hardiness are priorities.
