Chippewa Blueberry

Vaccinium corymbosum 'Chippewa'

Blueberries are well-shaped, upright and vigorous plants with dark green foliage. In addition to the berries, blueberries are beautiful ornamental, native shrubs with spring flowers and fall color. They can be included in the landscape as either a single planting, hedge/border or in areas such as native gardens and woodlands. They also make nice container plants for a patio or deck. Blueberry plants are very hardy and long-lived. They prefer organically rich, medium to wet, well-drained acidic soils in full sun to part shade.

It fruits mid season, late June-July in the northern parts of the U.S and will yield 3-8 pounds per plant. It has medium sized berries that are light blue and very sweet. Its leaves turn yellow/orange to red/purple in the fall.
