Day Neutral Strawberry Tribute

I started with a 4" starter Tribute Strawberry from Al's Garden Center.  This particular variety fruits very sweet, large fruit. They are so naturally sweet, you can eat them right off the plant without sugar.  Most berries require lots of light over long days, Tributes set fruit without regard to the length of days and nights and continues fruit production from June until frost. (above) My Tribute Strawberries, about 2 days before it's first harvest.

Growing Tips: Tribute Strawberries prefer full sun and water as needed.  They should be planted 18" apart and grow 6" - 8" tall, they are great for pots.

Harvesting Tips: Harvest when the berries are a bright red all the way around.
