The Chandler blueberry, known scientifically as Vaccinium corymbosum 'Chandler', is a standout cultivar developed by the USDA-ARS in Corvallis, Oregon. Introduced to the market in 1995, it is celebrated for its exceptionally-large berries and was primarily developed for fresh market and local sales. Notably, its berries are among the largest of any blueberry variety, making it highly favored for hand-picking due to the size and the slower ripening process of its fruits.
Plants are supplied in 1 liter containers with 12-18" of top growth.
