Albion

The Albion strawberry is widely regarded as the gold standard when it comes to strawberry flavor. This exceptional variety produces large, firm, and conical fruit that is both sweet and succulent. Notably, it is recognized for being one of the larger-sized strawberries, making it a standout in any garden or fruit basket.

The Albion strawberry begins its prolific fruit production in late spring, continuing to yield a bountiful harvest all the way through to autumn. This extended growing season ensures a steady supply of delicious strawberries for months. For optimal growth and fruit production, the Albion strawberry thrives best when planted in full sun, where it can receive ample light to develop its characteristic sweetness and size.
The gold standard of the industry in terms of flavor, Albion is a day-neutral (ever-bearing) cultivar. “Albion” is resistant to Verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae) and Phytophthora crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum), and relatively resistant to Anthracnose crown rot (Colletotrichum acutatum). Albion fruits consistently throughout the season. One downside of this variety is that it produces a lot of runners that must be cut in order to maintain high production.
