Cavendish Strawberry

Fragaria ‘Cavendish’

 

Originates in Nova Scotia, from a cross between two varieties known for their winter hardiness and attractive, large fruit. It produces high yields that ripen over a long growing season. Highly resistant to red stele and has some resistance to Verticillium wilt. This variety produces one large crop of fruit during a 2-3 week period in early July. Self-pollinating; only one variety required for fruit production.
