Cabot ( Us Plant Patent #16,971 )

Recently released by the Kentville Research Station, Nova Scotia, Canada, Cabot is known for its huge sized berries, excellent flavor, winter hardiness and disease resistance. Our customer survey indicates Cabot is best adapted for northern locations and where very large fruit size is required. The berries have very good flavor; color and firmness were rated good. First fruits may split or be rough. Plants are vigorous, but may not run freely indicating closer spacing may be required. Cabot is highly recommended for home gardeners and direct marketing growers.

Nourse Farms is the exclusive U.S. distributor. Price includes a royalty fee.
