Vaccinium agustifolium x corymbosum 'Chippewa'

This Northern lowbush blueberry, also known as a "half-high", makes a great compact edible ornamental. The light blue berries are delightfully sweet and juicy. This release from the U of Minnesota grows to 3-4 feet tall and wide with an upright form. A mature plant produces 4-7 pounds of large, light blue, excellent flavored berries in the midseason. The foliage turns a fiery combo of orange, yellow and red each fall.

Offer standard chill hours of 1000+ for this very hardy bush. Soil with an acidic ph of 4.5 is ideal, high in organic matter up top and good drainage below; also offer regular water during dry summers and load up on the mulch!

USDA Zone: 3-8

Mature Height:  3'-4'  (Medium)

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: Midseason/August

Pollination: Partially Self Fertile

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • I just bought two Chippewa bushes and one pink lemonade variety. I was told they would cross pollinate but now I'm reading they won't. Knowing the two varieties I currently have, what other(s) do you suggest for cross pollination? Growing in containers in zone 5b Ontario Canada

    Pink Lemonade is primarily a southern rabbiteye blueberry, as opposed to Pink Popcorn which is the northen highbush variety that you want. Fortunately Pink Lemonde is more or less self fruitful, so you only need another northern higbush like Aurora, or Pink Popcorn to pollinate your Chippewa.

  • do you have a cross polinator for chippawa such as polaris

    Chippewa is cross pollinated by any other northern highbush or northern lowbush blueberry, of which we have several to choose from.

Nice plant

This blueberry arrived in great condition. I planted in my prepared spot the next day. It seemed to be doing well, and then on the third day the local deer found it and managed to eat it down to about 3 inches tall. I think it'll still grow.
