Small fruits
Strawberry All Star The All Star Strawberry, 'Fragaria x ananassa 'All Star', has excellent flavor and the plant is resistant to verticillium wilt disease. This plant reduces large, firm berries with a high sugar content over interesting 3-lobed, toothed leaves on extremely vigorous plants. Although you can get a harvestable crop with as little as six hours of direct sunlight per day, the largest harvests and best quality berries come from those plants that get the advantage of full sun. Healthy plants will produce an abundance of berries for three to four years, after which they should be replaced. Keep your plants well watered until they are established (but don't overdo) and up to fruiting time. Strawberries can also be planted in tubs, containers and hanging baskets. NOTE: When making a strawberry bed in an established garden, be sure to locate it away from any spot where you have grown peppers, tomatoes, eggplant or potatoes. These plants can harbor verticillium wilt, which is devastating to strawberries.
