Chandler Blueberry

Chandler is a mid to late-season northern highbush blueberry released by the USDA in 1994 and famous for producing some of the largest berries of any variety, often reaching the size of a quarter. The huge, firm, light blue berries ripen over an unusually long six-week window, giving home gardeners a steady supply of dramatic, showpiece fruit. The vigorous, upright bushes are productive and cold hardy. Because of its enormous berry size and extended harvest, Chandler is a favorite for pick-your-own operations and home gardens, though the very large berries are best enjoyed fresh since they can be soft for shipping. Its impressive fruit and long season make it a standout dooryard variety.
