Strawberries
Some cultivars that perform well:
• Earliglow—perhaps the best-flavored cultivar, it is among the earliest to ripen.
• Northeaster—ripens about the same time as Earliglow. It is resistant to red stele
and does well on heavier clay soils. The berries are large and have a hint of grape
flavor, which some people love and others dislike.
• Sable—has excellent flavor and also ripens early.
• Allstar—a reliable producer with large light red to orange, sweetflavored berries.
• Honeoye, Cavendish, Kent, Raritan, Redchief, and Scott—good midseason
strawberries.
• Jewel—the most widely grown variety in the Northeast, it has excellent flavor. It is
productive and maintains a large fruit size throughout the season.
• Lateglow—a reliable late-season cultivar
Site Selection
Strawberries grow best in a sunny location with deep, well-drained sandy loam soil
with a pH of approximately 6.2. The plants do not tolerate extremes in pH, either
