Quinault Strawberry

Quinault Strawberry

Quinault Strawberry is a new variety bred by Washington State University that is unique for its ability to produce berries on unrooted runners. This makes Quinault the ideal strawberry for growing in a container as all runners hanging over the edge of the pot will still produce fruit! Berries are large and very tasty with a high sugar content.
