Candelabra Blueberry is a compact semi-evergreen shrub with a somewhat sprawling upright habit that produces an abundant early to mid season harvest.  Clusters of fragrant white flowers bloom in late spring before giving way to large firm berries with a balanced flavor.  The foliage shifts through attractive shades of orange, red, and purple in fall.  Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils.  Candelabra is self-fruiting and has a low recommended chill requirement of only 350-400 hours.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Medium Maintenance. Water regularly and mulch.  Prune as needed in late winter. Chlorosis may occur in high PH soils.  Blight, rot, anthracnose, canker, and mildew are occasional problems. Blueberry maggot, fruit worms, and spotted wing drosophila can damage the fruit.  Mummy berry is a fungal disease that shrivels and dries the fruit- remove affected fruit immediately if spotted.
