Tristar Strawberry

Tristar Strawberry

Our most popular variety and one of the best varieties for Northwest gardeners, Tristar Strawberry is is hardy, disease resistant, day neutral, productive, and very easy to grow. These large and attractive berries are great for fresh eating, preserves, and freezing. Tristar grows well throughout the US and is hardy to minus 25°F. It’s an OGW favorite!!

Types of Strawberries: June bearing strawberries produce only one large and abundant crop in early summer.  Everbearing strawberries produce two crops each year, one in late spring and one in late summer/early fall. Day Neutral is the third variety, and these do not rely on day length to produce fruit, allowing them to fruit continuously throughout the summer.
