Nova Raspberry has a large mid-summer crops with a few raspberries lingering into the fall, making it semi-everbearing. It is hardy in zones 4-7 and grows up to 6’ tall. Nova gets its name having come from Nova Scotia, Canada. The fruit is medium in size and firm.
Raspberries are a popular fruit enjoyed by many as a sweet treat. They are generally considered a good source for vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The raspberry plant consists of a perennial roots system and biannual canes. There are both summer-bearing and everbearing (priomocane) varieties.
According to Wikipedia: “A raspberry is an aggregate fruit, developing from the numerous distinct carpels of a single flower. What distinguishes the raspberry from its blackberry relatives is whether or not the torus (receptacle or stem) “picks with” (i.e., stays with) the fruit. When picking a blackberry fruit, the torus stays with the fruit. With a raspberry, the torus remains on the plant, leaving a hollow core in the raspberry fruit.”
