Self-Pollinating
Prized by professional chefs for their intense flavor.
Tristar berries are also beautiful plants, with their pretty serrated leaves, dainty white flowers and ruby-red berries – a natural choice for hanging baskets and containers. No spraying necessary because Tristar is disease-resistant. This variety is a day-neutral strawberry, meaning a heavy crop in early spring, lighter picking in the heat of summer, and back to big berries in the fall. Cold-hardy. Self-pollinating.

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:
JOHN DAY –
The strawberries didn’t fill out at the stem. I tried to keep enough moisture in the ground. The ground might have been deficient in nutrients. I don’t really know why they didn’t get plump.
EDWIN MELLETT –
They were great. I had some die back over the winter but still had a good amount of strawberries We liked picking them all summer long.
CAROL ALAMEDA –
They do ok but no info is given on how to start new plants as garden book says to remove all runners and would like more info on how many years they should do well and info on renewing the bed. other growing advice would also help. Flavor is great.
RUSSELL CARR –
When ordering the strawberries, I sent an email to customer service requestingthat they not be delivered before April1. This was ignored or not received.I had to keep them indoors in soil until the local snow melted and the bed was available. They have all been planted and it appears that about 1/3 of them are growing. It will take a while more to determine what percentage has survived because the weather has been cool and damp.

A little smaller than the “one timers” but great taste and long season
