Vaccinium hybrid Chandler

Chandler Blueberry

Chandler Blueberry is a tall, upright bush with unusually large, firm berries. The fruit has a sweet flavor, and its extended ripening period allows repeated picking from the middle into the later part of the blueberry season.

Red autumn leaves give the plant a second role as an ornamental shrub. It is best suited to a climate that supplies substantial winter chilling, with roughly 1,000 or more chill hours needed for dependable crops.

Grow in sun with acidic, evenly moist soil. Another compatible blueberry improves cropping.
