Vaccinium hybrid Chippewa

Chippewa Blueberry

Chippewa Blueberry is a compact, upright half-high selection with large, light blue berries. Its sweet, juicy crop ripens in midseason, bringing an edible feature to smaller planting spaces.

The bush develops a balanced outline, with autumn leaves changing to orange, yellow, and red. It is especially suited to cold-winter gardens that provide roughly 1,000 or more chill hours.

Provide sun, acidic soil rich in organic matter, drainage, and regular moisture. Cross-pollination improves yield.
