Bush: Moderately sprawling, reaches 1.5–1.8 m in height. Has strong shoots and medium crown density, which contributes to good lighting and convenient harvesting.
Berries: Large, up to 18-20 mm in diameter, dark blue with a pronounced waxy coating. The fruits are sweet, with a slight sourness and a rich aroma. The berries are collected in dense brushes, hold well on the branches, do not crumble, do not crack and have a dry detachment. Yield 6–9 kg from the bush.
Ripening period: Late, harvesting begins in August and lasts until September.
Soil: Requires light, well-drained soil with an acidity of pH 3.8-4.8. Grows best on peat, loamy or sandy soils. It is important to provide regular mulching to maintain acidity and moisture retention.
Pruning: It is carried out in the spring (March-April) before bud break. In the first 3-4 years, sanitary pruning is necessary (removal of dry, weak branches). Adult bushes are formed by pruning old shoots to stimulate new growth.
Cargo is a great choice for those looking for a productive, low-maintenance blueberry variety with large, tasty berries!
