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:

The description stated good for patio gardens, so I assumed that meant it would do well in pots. I planted them in one of those multi-tiered special strawberry pots, and it didn’t do well at all. I got maybe 5-6 tiny berries off of half of the plants. I know that with strawberries ideally you should pluck all the blossoms the first year and not let it set fruit, in order to let the plants get well established for good production in subsequent years. But, I don’t see how that is feasible when growing in pots and they may not survive the winter. I really needed a reliable producer for the 1st year, and this was not it. You may have better luck if planting directly in the ground and pluck all the blossoms the first year, like traditional strawberries.

I am happy with these strawberry plants. I actually started them last year, and did get some strawberries while they were getting established. I neglected to trim the runners that were produced which I believe reduced the yield from the plants. This year I have extremely healthy plants that have been producing many large, great tasting strawberries. I do keep the runners trimmed as much as possible to prevent them from taking over my entire garden and encourage further strawberry production. I would purchase these again, and recommend them.

This has been gratifying, as we have already enjoyed several berries from our four plants
Randy E Ruark –
So far not impressed. I ordered them because they are suppose to produce very large berries. If these are large, I’d hate to see small.
Courtney Feild –
These strawberries produced well last year- in their first season- and are even more productive this year. The plants have also started producing runners, so we should have a full patch soon enough. Small and sweet, we’ve enjoy these strawberries fresh and in cobblers.

We tested 5 varieties in pallet planters: Eversweet, Seascape, Tribute, Ozark & Quinault. Eversweet held up best over the winter (we did cover the pallets w/ a tarp when temps dropped below 30 degrees) w/ no losses & have been by far the most productive of the 5 varieties this spring.
David David –
Began producing right away and continued all summer.
Pam Tipton –
Love the berries. Seeet and juicy. Already bearing fruit this year. Plants wintered well and are lush and green this year. Recommend this variety.
Paul Sellers –
We received the plants very quickly and we got them into the ground without delay, but despite our best efforts, all of them died. We are not new to having a garden, we have had over an acre for decades, but these plants were just not hardy and we wasted our money. We did not get a single bloom on any of the plants. Other strawberries purchased locally thrived in the same area and produced plenty of strawberries.

When the berries came I must admit I didn’t think too much about them. but the eversweets have really taken off and are doing great.
