Varietal features of Toro blueberries - why is it better than other types of culture

Please tell us what the varietal features of Toro blueberries. I bought seedlings in the market, these are my first bushes of this culture. I only know that she loves acidic soil, but we have just such a soil. And what about the yield, a lot of berries can be removed from an adult bush and when to expect the first harvest?

If today you won't surprise anyone with raspberries and currants, then blueberries have not yet become a massively grown crop. The requirement for a special, acidic soil puts gardeners in a box, but gradually they adapt. Thus, the varietal characteristics of Toro blueberries attract attention and make them a desirable acquisition. Delicious berries, hanging in abundance on branches and endowed with healing powers, are worth any effort. However, having provided the bushes with the necessary soil composition and proper care, there remains little to do - to wait for the harvest.

Varietal features of Toro blueberries

The tall bush reaches 2 m in height, each year building up erect shoots. They are covered with large, cordate leaves, but more elongated. Young twigs are green in color, turn brown as lignification. The leaves themselves have a rich green color.

Despite the rather powerful appearance, the shrub has a superficial root system. This explains the increased requirements of blueberries to soil moisture.

The variety is medium late. The bush blooms in the month of May, and the berries begin to ripen in early August, hanging in large clusters from the branches. Large, up to 2 cm in diameter, the berries are blue, with a characteristic bluish bloom. The pulp is dense and very juicy, sweet, but without sugary, with a slight sourness. The variety enters fruiting in 4 years landing.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Toro blueberry is one of the highest-yielding healthy berries with stable fruiting. Among its advantages it is worth highlighting:

1. Excellent taste characteristics (pleasant sweetness of berries, lack of pronounced sourness, juiciness).
2. The large size of both the shrub itself and the berries, which allows you to harvest without much difficulty.
3. Good frost resistance (withstands frosts down to minus 30 °).
4. High yield (up to 10 kg of blueberries can be taken from one adult bush).
5. Amicable ripening of berries. In addition, the fruits do not crumble, but when harvested, they are easily separated from the stalks.
6. Excellent transportability and storage capacity. The berries remain intact, do not crack, lie for a long time.

At the same time, Toro also has a "reverse side of the coin". The variety is poorly resistant to diseases, especially rot, so it is important to avoid waterlogging. In addition, although fruiting is extended into two stages, it ends quickly.
