Mid-City Nursery offers this description: "Mid to late season. Bigger is better when it comes to Chandler. With fruit the size of cherries and surprisingly delicious flavor, Chandler is clearly the world’s largest blueberry. Another great feature that will provide your customers a bounty of fresh picked fruit for over six weeks is Chandler’s long ripening season! The bush is vigorous with large, dark green foliage and a slightly spreading habit to 5-6 feet. Zones 4-7."
