Strawberry Surecrop

Strawberry Surecrop, Fragaria × ananassa 'Surecrop', is a heavy producer of large, firm, rich but sweet fruit in mid season. 'Surecrop' is an easy to grow crop. Makes great jams, jellies, pies, tarts, and an ideal canner. The berries redden all the way through, with a rich but sweet flavor. The fruit holds well both on the vines and after picking. June bearing strawberries produce a single crop each year during a 2 3 week period. If you get blooms the first year while the plant is getting established pinch the blooms off to ensure a large fruit crop the next year. Average yield of one quart per plant. Self pollinating. Light to even sandy soil with good drainage is required. Neutral to slightly acidic is best. Strawberry plants need consistent, frequent waterings to produce well.
