‘Toro’ is a highly valuable highbush blueberry variety. It is a medium‑early fruiting shrub producing berries with high nutritional value and low calorie content. Thanks to its firm skin, the fruit is excellent for transport and withstands long shipping very well. It crops abundantly, is frost‑resistant and has very low site requirements. One cup of fresh blueberries covers the daily vitamin C requirement of an adult. Use: The fruits are very tasty, sweet‑wine in flavour, and recommended especially for fresh consumption due to their content of pectins, minerals and vitamins beneficial for digestive, heart and eye health. It is frost‑resistant from –28 °C to –34 °C; only a drop to –7 °C during flowering may reduce yields. Growth is moderately vigorous, with plants reaching 160–200 cm in height. Flowering: Medium‑sized, jug‑shaped flowers. Petals of unopened buds have a pinkish tint, older flowers are whitish. Calyx segments are pink and pressed against the corolla. Pedicels are thin, medium‑length, often with a pink shade. Leaves are lanceolate, elongated, strongly veined; young leaves have a noticeable pink tint, older ones are deep green. Ripening and fruiting: A medium‑early variety, fruiting in central regions from late August to early September. The berries are large, spherical, often slightly flattened, gathered in large, loose, uniform clusters. Light blue with a strong waxy bloom, the flesh is greenish‑yellow, slightly pink under the skin, firm, moderately aromatic, sweet‑wine and very tasty. Overripe berries may fall off. Heavy cropping may cause fruit to become smaller, so intensive pruning after fruiting is recommended. Shoots bending under the weight of fruit should be tied. The firm skin may occasionally crack during prolonged rainfall. Exposure: Sites that warm the soil to 18–21 °C are recommended. Care: Acidic soil, rich in humus, airy, well‑drained and consistently moist. Pruning: For several years after planting, remove diseased, weak or broken shoots and shorten new growth.
