Fruiting Season: Summer Bearing - Mid Season

Nova

Nova 

Released from the Nova Scotia, Canada, Breeding Program in 1981. This very winter hardy variety adapts to all climates and can be used as a summer bearer in the North or a fall bearer in the South. Nova is tolerant of heat and is an excellent choice for the upper midwest and northern regions, where high yields and dependability are required. Berries are firm, bright-red, medium to large in size, and have good shelf life. Canes are vigorous, growing upright with light spines.
