Strawberry Festival

[list style=”arrow” color=”blue-lite”]

Fruit Size: Medium

Yield: Approximately 700 g/plant from December to March in Dover, FL

Growth Habit: Upright and vigorous

Harvest Period: begins early December with moderate early yields

Description: ‘Strawberry Festival’ dominated the Florida industry for almost a decade until 2012 and is a grower favorite because it has a sturdy bush that is easy to harvest, doesn’t yield huge quantities of fruit on any one date, and produces very few cull fruit. It is a supermarket favorite because its fruit are attractive, fit well in one pound clamshell containers, and have a long shelf life. The vigorous plant tends to produce sturdy runner plants in the nursery. This clone was named ‘Strawberry Festival’ in recognition of the Florida Strawberry Festival, an annual festival in Plant City that celebrates the abundant crop of berries harvested in eastern Hillsborough County during late February and early March.
