Petaluma

'Petaluma' is another outstanding variety released by the University of California in the USA. It is a short-day cultivar, meaning it produces most of its fruit during the shorter spring and autumn days. Compared to other standard short-day varieties, it is a moderately vigorous plant, and for this reason, it will occupy less space per plant in your garden, making it an excellent choice for pots and planters. The fruit is a bit darker and larger than other varieties and has terrific flavour and good storage characteristics. It is similar to the variety 'Camarosa' but with greater productivity, higher quality fruit, and earlier production.
