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:

I picked the berries for the first time today, ( 1/2 pint on 25 plants) and they are very small and mis-shaped, though they taste very good. The plants grew fine, and made plenty of runners, only 2 or 3 did not grow. Hoping the size of the berries gets much larger in the fall.
Bonnie Mills –
These plants came so healthy I was amazed. Planted them right away & already have ton of small strawberries from these 25 plants. Cant wait to see them next year.
Grady Thomas –
Extremely disappointed with these plants. When I received them, they were in really poor condition with wilted/black leaves and few, if any, viable roots. I should have returned them but planted them hoping they would be okay. Only a few of them survived.
Brian Johnson –
The quail ate all the plants, so they never had a chance to mature.
Gretchen Leanna –
As first year plants, the berries were very small and mis-shapen. Only half my plants came back after the winter. Hopefully they do better in year two.
Donita Acosta –
They all died the first year. I planted and fed them exactly as instructions said. This makes twice I tried to grow them. Even tried the grow bags. I won’t try growing berries again.
Rebecca Gallo –
Three things happened. I probably planted these too deeply, my chickens got into them and we had a soggy, soggy cold spring last year, so what the chickens didn’t eat, rotted in the swamp of the bed I planted them in. Trying again this year.
Joe Hines –
The plants were healthy and did well! The berries tasted great!
Mike Klink –
