Description
Strong Canes, Steady Yields / A Cold-Hardy Mid-Season Classic
Developed in Nova Scotia by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Nova is a mid-season (floricane-bearing) raspberry valued for its vigorous growth, sturdy canes, and excellent winter hardiness, making it an ideal choice for prairie and northern growers. The berries are medium-sized, firm, and medium red, with a mild, well-balanced flavour that’s perfect for fresh eating, freezing, or processing. The fruit holds its shape well during harvest and transport, maintaining an attractive appearance for market sales. Nova plants are moderately spined, productive, and notably resistant to cane diseases and root rots, contributing to their long-standing popularity among commercial and U-pick operations. Hardy, reliable, and easy to manage, Nova continues to be a trusted mid-season performer for growers looking for a balance of durability, quality, and classic raspberry appeal.
