Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Chandler Blueberry has one of the biggest blueberries that I know of. The fruit is large, sweet and juicy to make a great combination. They are great for baking, canning, jams, jellies or just plain ole eating 'em. The bushes are hardy down until -15F. The mid season fruit ripens in July for about 4 to 6 weeks. Blueberries need a soil PH of 4.5 - 4.8 for best crop yield. Chandler Blueberry is a northern highbush variety.

A cultivar of an eastern North American native, 'Chandler' produces perhaps the largest blueberries, nearly the size of cherries! Attractive bell-shaped, spring flowers beget delicious berries in late June. These are all season's interest shrubs with intense fall colors of red and purple, and attractive red stems through winter. Self-fertile, but cross pollination generally yields the best fruit.

Mid-Late season. Must be the largest blueberry in the world! The berries are the size of cherries and taste delicious too! 'Chandler' also has a very long ripening season of over six weeks. A vigorous grower to about 5-6' with a slightly spreading habit.

Is the largest blueberry in the world with a long fruiting season of up to 6 weeks. This shrub is slightly spreading up to 7' so it makes an easy plant to pick fruit form. The fruit is large and has a very nice flavor.
