Anyone grow cabernet splash blueberry?
A Toro sport. Hubby brought one home. Very pretty plant, looking for info on yield

Toro is a decent plant …probably the best ever bred in NewZealand… so if it’s pretty similar, then you’ll do fine.
I’ve not tried this new offering.

Do you know what the sport characteristics are for this variety versus the standard Toro? I just planted Toro this year so I’m excited for it myself. I’ve heard it’s main downside is soft berries which make it a poor choice for mechanical harvest, but it’s supposed to have very good tasting berries.

Attractive plant for the ‘edible landscape’ too.

Everything i have looked at seems to indicate its fruiting is same as Toro but i guess the foliage color is the difference.
It has moderate fruit set already, will update on quality in a few weeks :sunglasses:
