Pollination
This variety is self pollinating.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You’ll get fruit with only one plant!
How do I find my Hardiness Zone?
Canada’s Plant Hardiness Zones will tell you which plants will do well in your particular climate. Each zone is determined by the lowest average winter temperature recorded in a given area. Hardiness Zone information is included on all tree and plant product pages, so you know instantly whether a certain plant is likely to succeed where you live. Natural Resources Canada provides helpful options to find your zone:

I left the strawberries to grow by themselves, with a few the first year. After two years, they have spread out all over my ground and have borne multiple strawberries, so fresh my kids eat them right away. No additional pesticides are used, and they are very sweet and fresh!! I hope to let it grow more this year, and cut back the runners to put its energy into making strawberries. No more contaminated strawberries for us!!
Darrell Finney –
I love them!! They’re everything I wanted big sweet and easy.

23 of 25 plants have survived and are doing well. Two of the plants were pretty small with a limited root system, I didn’t hold out much hope for them but I’ve been surprised before.

I have had these strawberries for 5 years and they have been great producers. My zone is 5 and it gets hot and dry in the summer and they still do fabulous. Bonus is they have beautiful fall foliage.
Don Williams –
Strawberries are extra firm and have a good flavor. Best used in cooking and jams and jellies. (Best strawberry jam I have ever tasted – very, very flavorful!). Not real delicious fresh off the vine for some unknown reason. Would highly recommend for jams etc. – stays firm longer than other strawberries in fridge and holds flavor. Easy to grow and over winters well.

They didn’t look healthy but planted them anyway. Died shortly after. Have been raising strawberries for 30+ years and never had this happen before.
Eloise Carpenter –
The strawberries along with several fruit trees were a birthday gift for my son who had recently moved. I entered the wrong address and your company along with Fed Ex helped to deliver them to the correct address. Your telephone people even called as a follow up to make sure my son received the order. He was thrilled to have the new items to get planted. Thank you very much.

My strawberry patch is approximately 15×25 feet which I cover lightly with straw for the winter. 2015 brought an up-and-down spring and I had to cover and uncover the plants three or four times because of frost danger, but when the berries started coming on, the patch produced a bumper crop which continued from late May to early July. It is May 2016 and we are still eating last year’s berries from the freezer and friends and neighbors picked several quarts besides what we put up. Looking at the patch this year, we’re expecting a repeat performance. We are in west central Indiana and I definitely recommend Stark Bro’s All Star strawberry.
