- Huge berries from August to mid-September
- Self-fertile with rich, sweet flavour
- Great for pots or acidic garden soil
Enjoy a wealth of delicious, juicy fruit with the Blueberry 'Chandler', a self-fertile variety that's simply bursting with flavour. From early August to mid-September, this robust blueberry bush produces enormous, firm berries – some weighing up to 2g and measuring 20mm (¾inch) in diameter.
Beyond its delicious fruit, this blueberry bush makes an attractive shrub for patios or acidic borders. Expect masses of sweetly scented, creamy white flowers in spring, followed by fiery crimson autumn foliage. Blueberries are packed with health-boosting goodness and are especially good in pies, muffins, and jams.
For best results, plant in well-drained, acidic soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. In areas without naturally acidic soil, grow blueberry plants in patio containers using ericaceous compost mixed with John Innes No. 3. Water with rainwater whenever possible, as the lime contained in tap water can reduce soil acidity over time.
Your blueberry plant will begin fruiting in its third year. Protect developing berries from birds with netting. From the third year onwards, prune the oldest stems each autumn to encourage new growth and maintain a healthy plant structure.
