Q&A – What is the biggest and best tasting strawberry variety?
Question:
What is the biggest and best tasting strawberry variety? I only get very small but good tasting berries. I would like to change over to the big ones like in the stores.
Answer:
Commercial growers are growing varieties like Chandler, Douglas, Pojaro, Sweet Charlie. Mor importantly, they grow them as annuals. They may not produce such big berries if grown in a matted row system like you find in a home garden. Also, the strawberries on the daughter plants are always smaller than the strawberries on the mother plant. So unless you are going to grow them as an annual the berries will be smaller.
