Common Name: June Bearing 'Strawberry'
Botanical Name : Fragaria ananassa  'All Star'             

All Star bears in late midseason and produces berries actually as large as plums! Frost resistant. Excellent flavor with fruit that’s big, firm, sweet, extra juicy and red. No wonder this is considered a super star variety! This strawberry is a June bearing variety. 
If you have suffered through poor quality crops of strawberries… and could see little wrong with the plants, chances are the problem was virus or fusarium wilt. We suggest never to replant runners or gift plants from friends. As commercial growers would tell you, you risk losing irreplaceable time and your labor. Re-plant fresh, virus-free stock every 3 or so years.    


Common Name: Ever Bearing 'Strawberry'
Botanical Name : Fragaria ananassa  'Tribute'                 

A classic Strawberry trusted and beloved by gardeners for many years, 'Tribute' is a day-neutral variety that fruits heavily even in the short growing season of Maine. Bearing very generous yields of medium to large dark red berries, it is delicious and so easy to grow. With large berries 'Tribute' appeals to folks who simply can't get enough strawberries over a long season. The berries are wonderfully aromatic, announcing their sweet goodness long before you take the first bite! The first year it fruits in fall from a spring planting, then fruits a second time in spring! Once it settles into its regular season, it bears in early summer to fall, depending on climate. An excellent choice for containers and hanging baskets.
