Description

A 1960 Kentville release and a seedling of ‘Adams No. 1’, named for the county its research station sits in.

It belongs to the cluster of Nova Scotia cultivars — with ‘Nova’ and ‘Scotia’ the same year — that between them make up most of the mid-century North American list. All of them trace to the same New York founders, which is the narrowness this file keeps returning to.

Where to find it

No source recorded. That does not mean the cultivar is unavailable, only that this record does not yet name a nursery carrying it. Point us at one and it goes in.
