Fruit Quality
Cadenza’s fruits are large and uniformly conical, with a bright red colour and an attractive glossy appearance. The berries maintain a consistent size throughout the harvest period, even later in the season, which ensures a uniform and appealing presentation.
The fruits are firm and robust, offering good shelf life and making them highly suitable for both direct sales and longer supply chains. The variety combines a pleasant flavour with good juiciness, resulting in a balanced eating experience.
Thanks to its firmness and stable structure, Cadenza performs well under varying weather conditions, including periods of rain. This makes it a reliable choice for consistent fruit quality in open-field production. The combination of strong fruit quality, attractive appearance and good transportability makes Cadenza a distinctive late-season variety.
Yield
Cadenza combines a high yield potential with a high percentage of Class 1 fruits, ensuring efficient harvesting and strong economic returns.
Its late ripening window allows growers to extend the strawberry season, while maintaining stable production levels and consistent fruit quality. This makes Cadenza a valuable addition to the late-season assortment.
Disease susceptibility
Cadenza is characterised by a strong and robust plant, showing good tolerance to challenging weather conditions such as rain.
Although specific resistance levels may vary by growing conditions, the variety is generally considered reliable in open-field production due to its stable plant structure and consistent performance.
Flowering and harvest
Cadenza is a very late June bearer, ripening around one week before Malwina and extending the harvest season significantly.
The variety produces medium to long trusses and a compact plant habit, allowing for efficient picking and high harvesting performance.
Once in full production, Cadenza delivers uniform and steady yields, supporting smooth harvest planning and consistent supply.
Growing experience
Cadenza is well suited for open-field cultivation, particularly under high chill conditions, where it delivers reliable and stable results. A slightly wider planting distance is advised to optimise plant development and fruit size.
The variety is relatively easy to manage, with a balanced development that supports consistent production throughout the late season. Its combination of firmness, yield stability and weather tolerance makes it a dependable choice for growers aiming to extend their production window with minimal risk.
