Alpha Nova Raspberry

Rubus idaeus ‘Nova’

Nova is a cold-hardy, high-yielding red raspberry cultivar from Nova Scotia, prized for its firm, bright-red berries and extended harvest season. Its winter hardiness, disease resistance, and adaptable fruiting habit make it ideal for both home gardens and U-pick operations. Nova was released in 1980 from the Nova Scotia Agricultural College breeding program, derived from a cross of Southland × Boyne.
