    Blueberry (Vaccinium Corymbosum) Blue Crop and Chandler

    11.08.2022

    Blueberries are well know to be a highly nutritious berry and an opportunity presented itself to acquire two more varieties (Blue Crop and Chandler) for a very good price…Lidl had them on sale for 3,99€ per plant. Not only were the plants relatively inexpensive but upon examination it was seen that there was several branches that had new growth on them. Thus soft wood was available for cuttings.
