Kent is the most widely grown strawberry variety in eastern Canada. At Kentville, produces low to medium yields of medium to large, blunt-conic, bright red berries. Fruit are very firm. Flavour is fair to good. May be useful for shipping.
Berries are firm with good skin strength but flavour is somewhat weak.
May lack winter hardiness. Is being grown in NS for distant shipping. Flesh and skin are firm. Flavour is mild and pleasant. Worth a trial in the warmer areas of Atlantic Canada, especially on light textured soils.
