Red Currant vs Chippewa BlueberryRibes rubrum Vaccinium x Chippewa NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2021) 
Red Currant is a deciduous shrub native to western Europe. It features five-lobed, maple-like leaves, and bright red berries that can be used in jams, sauces, and fresh eating. Chippewa Blueberry is the perfect shrub for attracting birds and butterflies. Incredibly cold-hardy, the Chippewa Blueberry is an upright shrub making it easy for harvesting. Known for producing high yields of large blue-colored berries, this blueberry is a favourite for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. As with all blueberries, the Chippewa needs soil with a low pH and high acidity. RED CURRANT QUICK FACTSCHIPPEWA BLUEBERRY QUICK FACTS
