Common Blueberry vs Chester Thornless BlackberryVaccinium myrtilloides Rubus fruticosa Chester (Thornless) SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2021) 
Common Blueberry isn't as large, pretty, or high yielding as the other varieties we carry. But Common Blueberry is our only blueberry that will survive in plant hardiness zones 1A to 2B. So if you happen to live in one of these zones, this is the variety for you. Chester Thornless Blackberry is a self-pollinating fruit-bearing shrub. In mid-summer, the Chester Thornless Blackberry produces large, sweet-tasting, heart-shaped blackberries that are perfect for fresh eating. It is a semi-erect blackberry plant that requires little support from a trellis to keep its fruit off the ground. Don't forget to protect your berries. The birds love this shrub almost as much as you will. COMMON BLUEBERRY QUICK FACTSCHESTER THORNLESS BLACKBERRY QUICK FACTS
