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!

I have grown them for years and there is nothing better. I just wish they lasted a few more years. Best for shortcake, pies and ice cream. And in the morning for cereal.
ELIZABETH CREEDEN –
Strong growth with some leaves that have remained green all winter in eastern Massachusetts. There was a heavy crop last year and many buds this year although the weather is delayed and many rain days.
DAN DIXON –
Our daughter bought us some for landscaping (white spring flower) – but the berries are so good we bought a bunch more, and we’re selling them. They command a premium being so early. If you’re shooting for pure poundage, you might try something else. If you want very early, great eating berries, I’d try these.
TIMOTHY PHILLIPS –
I highly recommend the Stark EarliGlo Strawberry plants! We received 27 amazingly healthy plants with roots averaging 6″ long. Every plant is thriving. What a joy!

This review only covers the buying experience since I ordered my strawberries for fall planting and it is now only February. This was not my first order with Stark Bros. and it won’t be my last- ordering trees soon- and I have had nothing but excellent service. Orders that are delayed due to season ship when they say they will and everything arrives in perfect condition. Though it’s too early to say about the strawberries my Weeping Willows that I ordered last spring grew like weeds this past summer and are doing great!
