strawberries in GA IF you had to choose

14 years ago

which variety would you pick

Camerosa

Chandler

And if you have grown both, what makes one better over the other?

I'm ordering for my booth for resale (will be selling online and at plant sales in the spring too). Last year I ordered smaller quantities but more varieties (I ended up with like 7 varieties) and it was a chore to keep them all separated and labeled etc. This year, I can order more in bulk and of course get better prices, but to be honest, I'm not sure any one of the different varieties fared better over the other, so because of that, I'm inclined to just stock one or two varieties and be done with it?

I may just end up getting both Camerosa and Chandler and maybe ONE ever bearing to give some variety.

But the orders are 1,000 plants each order, so that's a lot of plants.

Last year I successfully presold 1500. This would be almost double.

I don't know enough about strawberries. I just know that the type I bought several years ago was not right. Rjinga, if I were looking at your strawberries in a booth and you said you or a friend had good experience with that type, I'd buy it for that reason.

It's in my head right now that I need a strawberry jar that I replant every year in order to get a good crop of strawberries. If anyone knew of a variety that was so adapted to the south that it pretty much took care of itself year after year, I'd love to hear about it.
