The Nova Raspberry is a vigorous variety renowned for its high yield and resistance to common raspberry pests and diseases. The large, bright red berries offer a well-balanced sweet-tart flavour, making them perfect for fresh eating, jams, and desserts. As a floricane variety, Nova produces fruit in the summer on last year’s growth, with the potential for a smaller flush of berries in the fall. While the shrub requires pruning and control of suckers, it is otherwise low maintenance. Tolerant of heat, drought and self-pollinating, the Nova Raspberry is an ideal choice for northern gardeners seeking a hardy, high-yielding variety.
