Chandler Blueberries

Chandler are somewhat firm, dark blue blueberries with a sweet flavour. They are very large, up to an inch (2.5 cm) in width, and up to 3 g in weight.

The slightly spreading bush grows 5 to 6 feet (almost 2 metres) tall. Its showy leaves make it an attractive bush even when not in bloom.

The berries ripen over 4 to 6 weeks, making this a good blueberry for pick your own and home gardeners.
