Blackcurrant vs Chippewa BlueberryRibes nigrum Vaccinium x Chippewa 
Blackcurrant is a medium-sized shrub producing delicious, deep purple to black sweet berries suitable for jams, jellies, syrups and cordial. 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. BLACKCURRANT QUICK FACTSCHIPPEWA BLUEBERRY QUICK FACTS
