Organic Blueberry Toro (Ea)

Blueberry 'Toro' is a cold-hardy Northern Highbush variety prized for its heavy yields, large sweet berries, and year-round ornamental value. Released by the USDA in 1987, this reliable cultivar grows 5 to 6 feet tall and features an upright, compact form ideal for berry rows, edible landscapes, and even container growing in northern climates.

Mid-season fruit ripens evenly in clusters from June to mid-July, producing firm, flavorful berries that are excellent for eating fresh, baking, or freezing. Spring brings delicate pink-tinged blossoms, while fall foliage turns a vibrant red—adding seasonal interest beyond harvest time.
