About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A Dutch new breed from a cross of ‚Elsanta’ and ‚Polka’ that combines the best of both parents: the high yield and handsome fruit of one, the sweetness of the other. The large, evenly conical, bright red fruits are firm and taste milder and sweeter than ‚Elsanta’. It ripens mid early and tolerates the weather well. A modern, rewarding all round strawberry for eating fresh and for the kitchen.
Evenly and handsomely shaped, firm and juicy, with harmonious sweetness and only restrained acidity.
