A june bearing strawberry cultivar for southern Quebec conditions
'Chambly' is the first June-bearing strawberry cultivar (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) bred specifically for southern Quebec conditions. This cultivar is being released by McGill Univ. And Agriculture Canada. 'Chambly' was released because of its high yields of firm, deep red fruit with raised neck, elevated calyx, and uniform well-colored flesh. Therefore, it is recommended for fresh market and processing. The name 'Chambly' has historical significance in southwestern Quebec, for it was a garrison town in the fortification network of the Richelieu Valley, a thoroughfare between the St. Lawrence and Hudson rivers.
