Chandler blueberry

The Chandler blueberry, also known as Vaccinium corymbosum 'Chandler' (blueberry), is a cultivar of blueberry which produces large berries.[1] It was released in 1995 and was described by the United States Department of Agriculture as "a fresh market, local sales cultivar."[2][3] Chandler blueberries come in relatively late in the harvest season.[4] As the berries are quite large and slow to ripen, they are best picked by hand rather than by machine.[5]
