Crossing low bush blueberries with high bush adds significant cold hardiness with Chippewa handling -40°C winters. This University of Minnesota selection also fares better in heavy snowfall areas than regular highbush varieties, which may experience more limb breakage. Medium-large, high-quality, sky blue berries are firm and very sweet with average yields of approx. 3 kgs per plant. Chippewa makes a great landscaping bush with a compact, upright 1m (3') form. Lustrous, dark green foliage turns bright red in fall.

It can self-pollinate, but will have a better yield with cross pollination. 

Requires acidic soil.
