Vaccinium corymbosum 'Chandler'
Choose Chandler Blueberry if you want very large berries for fresh eating over a longer picking season. The tradeoff: it needs acidic soil, steady moisture, and fruit protection to crop well.
Buy This If
You want very large berries.
You can manage soil acidity.
You like multiple pickings.
Skip This If
Your soil runs alkaline.
You need a clipped hedge.
Deer browse heavily unprotected.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
It looks like a clean fruiting shrub, but the main reason to plant it is the crop, not showy ornamental value.
Growth Rate
B+
It establishes at a good pace when planted in acidic soil with consistent moisture.
Maintenance
C+
It needs soil attention, pruning, watering during dry spells, and bird protection if you want a real harvest.
Deer Resistance
C-
Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
C+
It is manageable, but it still needs room, airflow, and access for picking.
Screening Value
D
It is deciduous and fruit-focused, so it should not be counted on for privacy.

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Chandler for homeowners who care most about fresh-eating berry size and are willing to prep the soil properly before planting.

Customers Usually Ask
Do I need more than one blueberry?
You will usually get better fruit set by planting another compatible blueberry nearby.
Are the berries really that large?
Yes, berry size is the main reason to choose Chandler.
Will birds take the fruit?
Often, yes; use netting before the berries fully ripen.
Why Grow Your Own Edible Plants?
Fresh, Homegrown Flavor: Harvest fruits, berries, and herbs at peak ripeness—far fresher than store-bought options.
Functional & Beautiful: Many edible plants offer attractive blooms, foliage, and structure while producing food.
Long-Term Yield: Fruit trees and berry shrubs provide reliable harvests year after year once established.
Locally grown for New England conditions
Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
