The ‘Chippewa’ Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum x angustifolium ‘Chippewa’) is a very hardy semi-dwarf blueberry bush, specially developed for northern climates. It produces beautifully sized, light blue fruits with a sweet and well-balanced flavor.
Harvest typically takes place mid-season (July) in Quebec. This variety is known for its good productivity and more compact size, making it ideal for small gardens.
In spring, it produces small, bell-shaped white flowers, followed by magnificent green foliage that takes on reddish hues in the fall.
The flowers are visited by pollinators, promoting good fruit set.
⚠️ For optimal production, it is recommended to plant another compatible blueberry variety nearby to ensure better cross-pollination.
