“‘AC-L’ Acadie’ Strawberry”

‘AC-L’Acadie’ is a June-bearing strawberry cultivar (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) bred by Shahrokh Khanizadeh, Bertrand Theriault, Odile Carisse and Deborah Buszard, and released in 1999 for Quebec and Eastern Central Canada growing conditions. ‘AC-L’Acadie’ produces large, firm fruit and the plants are moderately resistant to leaf diseases and partially resistant to the principal eastern races of red stele (Phytophthora fragariae Hickman). ‘AC-L’Acadie’ fruit store very well at room temperature for several days, making them ideal for shipping or for growers who need to store fresh fruit. The cultivar is recommended for pick-your-own and/or fresh-market producers. The Prefix “AC” in the name stands for “Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.” The name ‘L’Acadie’ was chosen because this cultivar was originally selected at the L’Acadie substation of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and it was tested there for several years. This is also the site where much of the strawberry research and breeding is conducted in the province of Quebec.

UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project
The University of British Columbia Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project aims to display academically inspiring artwork in classrooms and other teaching areas of the university.
Artwork displayed as part of this project – including the covers of books and journals containing work written or edited by UBCO scholars and researchers – is intended to help enliven university teaching spaces, educate classroom users about the connections between research and teaching, and introduce members of the broader public to some of the research and scholarship carried out at UBCO.
How to Submit Artwork
If you know of other book or journal covers, or other academically inspiring artwork that is connected to work carried out by UBCO artists, scholars or researchers and that is consistent with UBCO’s educational mission, please email your suggestions to classroom.artwork@ubc.ca.
The UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project began in 2019 with support from the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. It is now a joint project of UBCO’s Faculties and the Office of the Provost.
