Vaccinium corymbosum 'Chandler' is a northern highbush blueberry grown for extra-large berries, spring flowers, and colorful fall foliage. Plant it where you can provide consistently moist, well-drained, acidic soil and plenty of organic matter for strong root growth.
Give your plant full sun to part shade for best flowering and fruit set. You will enjoy small, bell-shaped white blooms in spring followed by mid- to late-season blueberries that ripen over an extended period, making picking easy and rewarding.
For better yields, plan on growing more than one blueberry variety that blooms at the same time, even though blueberries can be self-fertile. Mulch well to help conserve moisture and keep roots cool, and water during dry spells, especially while fruit is forming and ripening.
Prune in late winter once established to keep the shrub productive and open, removing older wood and any weak or crowded stems. Netting may be helpful as berries begin to color, since birds often discover ripe fruit quickly.
