Narrative
A late-season productive cultivar introduced by Agriculture Canada, Kentville, Nova Scotia, in 1984. The large berries are firm, medium red and glossy with an excellent flavor. Blomidon can be picked very easily but is somewhat difficult to hull. Plants, which runner freely, are very vigorous and winter-hardy. Blomidon is susceptible to mildew, but resistant to some strains of red stele. Recommended for trial as a pick-your-own, fresh market cultivar.Dale et al., 1992.Fruit: large to very large primaries and medium size secondaries; firm; glossy medium- to deep red-external color except white under calyx; medium-red internal color with white fibro-vascular bundles; globose conic to short wedge shape; calyx moderately difficult to remove; tart flavor. Ripens mid- to late season; fresh-market use. Plant: moderate to high yielding; vigorous; abundant but not excessive runners; medium length scapes; moderately resistant to susceptible to powdery mildew and to verticillium wilt; moderately resistant to botrytis fruit rot and to A-6, the most common race of the red stele causal organism, Phytophthora fragariae, in Atlantic Canada; susceptible to June yellows.The Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and nut Varieties. p. 674. APS Press. 1996.
