Chandler Highbush Blueberry - 1 gal 10"

The 'Chandler' Highbush Blueberry is renowned for having one of the longest fruiting seasons of any variety, producing large, flavorful berries over a period of four to six weeks! Gardeners treasure this plant for its exceptional berry size—often compared to a nickel—and its showy late-season foliage that turns fiery orange-red, adding ornamental beauty long after the harvest is complete.

Excellent for Zones 4 through 8, 'Chandler' is a vigorous grower that needs Full Sun to ensure the sweetest fruit and maximum yield. It develops into a stately, large shrub, reaching a mature height of 5 feet and a width of 4 feet. Like its cousins, this Highbush variety has a woody nature and a specific foliage taste, making it reliably resistant to deer and rabbits. To guarantee a bountiful harvest, always plant at least two different Highbush varieties together to encourage the best cross-pollination.

Blueberries require particular, acidic soil, so focus on soil preparation! Start by mixing your native soil generously with Watters Premium Mulch. This is non-negotiable for improving soil structure, retaining moisture, and achieving the necessary acidic pH. Then, blend in Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food—it delivers the balanced, slow-release nutrients essential for strong root development and the energy needed to produce such a prolonged, heavy crop of supersized berries.
