Characteristics of the Chandler blueberry plant
Chandler is a unique blueberry variety known for its exceptionally large berries. With fruit sizes that can be among the largest in the highbush segment, Chandler is a favorite with both professional growers and pick-your-own farms. The plant grows vigorously and forms a broad, slightly spreading shrub that eventually reaches a height of approximately 1.8–2 meters.
The harvest period is remarkably long: Chandler ripens gradually and can be picked in several rounds, ensuring a long sales period and an attractive spread of labor. The berries are firm, have an aromatic, sweet-fresh taste, and a beautiful light blue color.
Chandler thrives best in well-drained, acidic soils and requires regular pruning to maintain large fruit size and balanced growth. Thanks to its impressive berry size and excellent flavor, this variety is very popular in the fresh market and at pick-your-own farms.
