Enjoy a tasty summer-time treat when you plant the Chandler Highbush Blueberry in your yard. This deciduous shrub produces a high yield of large berries, and it is also a lovely plant to feature in a space. This large bush has dark green foliage and, during the spring, will have gorgeous bell-shaped white blooms. The blooms will fade and be replaced by large berries during the summer. By fall, the foliage will turn a reddish-purple, and once the foliage drops, you will enjoy vivid red stems that stand out in the winter landscape.
Chandler Highbush Blueberry Care
The Chandler Highbush Blueberry needs full to partial sun. Create a hedge or border by spacing bushes 6 to 7 feet apart. This large perennial will reach 5 to 7 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide. Soil should be rich, moist, well-drained, and slightly acidic.
Growing Chandler Highbush Blueberry
This bush will bear fruit during the first growing season. If you remove the flowers during the first year, the plant will focus its energy on establishing a strong root system, which can help the plant settle in more quickly. The Chandler Highbush Blueberry does not typically require much pruning, but trim the plant as needed in the late winter.
Growing Chandler Highbush Blueberry in Containers
This large plant can grow 7 feet tall, and this cultivar can be grown in a container with proper care. Select a pot about 14 inches in diameter and water when the top few inches of soil dry out.
Watering Chandler Highbush Blueberry
Regularly water this plant for the first two years. New plants will need 1 to 2 inches of water each week. Established plants will need 1 inch of water every week and a half, and rain is usually enough to support an established blueberry bush.
Feeding Chandler Highbush Blueberry
Feed the Chandler Highbush Blueberry using an acid fertilizer during the spring. Top dress the soil with organic mulch each year to provide an extra dose of nutrients and help retain moisture.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
