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:

Disappointing. Most of the plants died within 2 months of arriving.

I bought these with the Tribute strawberry bare root. Last Year I purchased potted strawberries and they never took and died off, so I was hoping I could try the bare roots… I planted them after a few hours of them being delivered, a few days ago, and I see lots of pink and green in each – so I’m hoping it was a success. We’ll see!

First year enjoying these as they were planted last year. They have a good taste but the berries aren’t very large. They seemed to get ripe then we thought done for the year but finally a few more ripened. We chose them due to promise of good taste which delivered—and also as they were ever bearers. So far thinking they are producing enough to be worth having an ever bearer but the tge temperature has fluctuated this year. If they do better next year I will update review if I am able.

I also let the runners run like mad crazy. The first year I cut off all the blooms. In one year I had over 150 Strawberries from the Initial 25 I bought from Stark Bros. Absolutely Amazing. I put these in my 12’x15′ strawberry garden that took me 3 years to get just right. PH level is 5.8 the strawberries LOVE it. I tilled up my 12’x15′ strawberry patch and filled it in with horse poop, wood chips, grass clippings, Pine Needles, sulfur pellets, Epsom salts, and tilled it every 3 months for 3 years and filled as needed with above compost. Put Raspberries in every corner and a blueberry bush on every flat wall. The strawberries ran in rows parallel to the longer flat sides. Everyday I would pick a quart of strawberries/raspberries/blueberries…Everyday! Then I sold the House…Sad Face.

I ordered a total of I think it was close to 100 plants of a couple different varieties. They were moldy, but still had some green on them, so I planted them, anyway. They all withered, and died. None survived. I decided not to reorder. Even though Stark Bros is only a couple hours away from my home, it seems like the delivery process takes waaay too long to get anything to me in a timely manner. I have cancelled orders due to their delivery lapses, and my schedule needs.

Strawberry plants from Stark’s are the best I’ve ever received. Large healthy plants timely arrived. Planted in a 3-tier metal ring setup. Plants grew great and produced the first year as promised. Did not mulch over winter and wasn’t sure of survival. This year bursting with blooms quickly overcoming enclosure. Now wish I had a bigger ring! Highly recommend!

I planted them and cut off all flowers last year to get the roots established. Winter came early in Maine last year so I figured they would die without any protection. This spring they sprang to life them the goats got loose and eat them. They’re coming back like real troopers.

This is the first year for my Eversweet strawberries to bloom, We’ve had a wet cold spring but the plants are growing well and have produced a few berries that are very sweet. We’ll see how things go. I feel positive though.
Polly-Alida Farrington –
Already putting on lots of flower buds. Hoping for the first berries in about a month.

Received and planted last year. About 50 percent survived. The ones that did seem to be doing well.
