Strawberry plants

Hey

My strawberry plants are up for replacement this year - I was wondering what to get.

I want a plant that will produce in a short period of time as I'd like to make jam this year.

Ideally I'd like to try Tenira but can't seem to find them anywhere.  A local nursery has Elsanta, which seem tempting but are maybe a bit tarnished in my eyes because of tasteless supermarket strawberries.

Any ideas for a good reliable cropper?

Thanks in advance for any help


title edit for search purposes

Thanks! I could have sworn that I looked at that page a couple of hours ago and it said they'd sold out, which is what prompted this thread.

I'll place an order then.

EDIT - I checked with Ken Muir and it was my mistake. Anyway, all's well that ends well.

For a long cropping season it might be worth getting a few of each:

 early, mid season and late croppers.

Last year we put our plants in the ground and they look to have established themselves quite well.
From seeds we have Wild, Alpine (for that authentic old school bubblegum flavour) & an F1 called Sarian all sowed from packets.

Cambridge Favourite is a delicious mid season that I have tasted myself and highly recommend for flavour, the late ones we got as runners from a friend and she does not know what they are but helps stretch the cropping season somewhat, remember to keep the slugs away and the birds from snatching them!!!

Happy growing!

not sure how good value that is though.


Honeyoye are nice too (early to mid season)

Honeyoye are a favourite of mine.
I normally grow a combination - Honeyoye, Elsanta, Cambridge Fav, Florence and Eros (the latter can be BIG strawberries but very good taste.

Gonna try Gariguette, Combaille , whiteberrys, and Florence for the new patch.
