Vigorous, Fragaria x ananassa 'Quinault' (Everbearing Strawberry) produces a first crop in spring and another one in late summer or fall. Under ideal conditions, it is possible to produce three berry harvests. Five-petaled white flowers adorned with yellow centers appear in early spring and give way to large, firm, deep red berries of great flavor which ripen in late spring to early summer. 'Quinault' produces strawberries on unrooted runners. Well suited to the Pacific Northwest and Midwest. May remain evergreen in frost-free areas.
Choose a spot with full sun and soil that drains well. If your soil is poor, enrich it with organic material and fertilizer.
Choose a spot with full sun and soil that drains well. If your soil is poor, enrich it with organic material and fertilizer. These strawberries are nutrient hungry. Avoid burying the crown of each strawberry plant, as this can cause rot.
Cut the runners down to the ground with pruning shears, or by pinching them off with your fingers, being careful not to damage the strawberry bush or roots. Discard the runners and small plants away from the strawberry bed, preferably in your compost heap. Keep an eye out for runners throughout the summer.
Moisture is the key to plump, fully-formed berries. Mulch soil to reduce water evaporation. Frost-fighting plan: Strawberry plants are sensitive to frost. Temperatures of 28º F or less (a hard frost) damage flowers.
These strawberries do well and will be perennial in zones 4-8. They require full sun. Quinault strawberry plants resist more diseases than other cultivars.
