Cabernet Splash™ is actually a sport or naturally occurring mutation of the well known and respected Toro, with essentially the same high-quality fruit that Toro is noted for, on a more compact bush. What really sets it apart is the unique purple tinged spring foliage. As the season progresses it becomes solid green by midsummer, then a striking, deep maroon for the fall. With this distinctive foliage on a tidy, upright growing shrub that matures at 90-120cm (3-4') tall and wide, Cabernet Splash™ would already be a desirable landscaping option. In this case you can also expect bountiful crops of large, light blue berries that are firm and very sweet.
SELF-FERTILE / ZONE 4 / HARVEST: MID-LATE JULY
Everyone would love to grow blue berries. You do need to be aware though that blueberries will be more judgmental of your soil than most plants. In some areas of the country (PEI for instance) the soil is naturally acidic, meaning it has a pH of 4.0-5.5. This is exactly what blueberries like. Here in southern Ontario our soil pH is more like 7.0-7.8. In these alkaline type soils some plants such as lingonberries and blueberries find it hard to access the nutrients that are in the soil. Amending the planting site with peat moss and/or using our Blueberry Booster product is recommended.
Every Whiffletree plant order includes a copy of our 'Planting For Success' guide. Check out the Blueberry section for suggestions.
