Half High Blueberry : CHIPPEWA 5 gallon pot PICKUP ONLY
$44.95
PICKUP ONLY
(Vaccinium corybosum x vaccinium angustofolium)
Crossing low bush blueberries with high bush adds significant cold hardiness with Chippewa handling -40°C winters. This University of Minnesota selection also fares better in heavy snowfall areas than regular highbush varieties, which may experience more limb breakage. Medium-large, high-quality, sky blue berries are firm and very sweet with average yields of approx. 3kgs per plant. Chippewa makes a great landscaping bush with a compact, upright 1m (3') form. Lustrous, dark green foliage turns bright red in fall.

Growing Tips
Everyone would love to grow blue berries. You do need to be aware though that blueberries will be more judgmental of your soil than most plants. In some areas of the country (PEI for instance) the soil is naturally acidic, meaning it has a pH of 4.0-5.5. This is exactly what blueberries like. Here in southern Ontario our soil pH is more like 7.0-7.8. In these alkaline type soils some plants such as lingonberries and blueberries find it hard to access the nutrients that are in the soil. Amending the planting site with peat moss and/or using our Blueberry Booster product is recommended.
Every Whiffletree plant order includes a copy of our 'Planting For Success' guide. Check out the Blueberry section for suggestions.
