List of strawberry cultivars

Strawberry plants with label indicating the cultivar ('Sequoia')

The following is a partial list of strawberry cultivars. Strawberries come in a wide assortment of commercially available cultivars (cultivated varieties). Differences between cultivars may include the date the fruit ripens, disease resistance, freezing quality, firmness, berry size, berry shape, and flavor. Many different cultivars have been developed at the University of California (Davis campus), by Driscoll Strawberry Associates Inc. (Watsonville, California), the United States Department of Agriculture, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and East Malling Research Station in the UK.

Almost all the strawberries listed below are cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa. Two cultivars listed here ('Frel' (Pink Panda) and 'Samba' (Red Ruby)) are bigeneric hybrids, grown mainly for their flower colour rather than their fruit, using a closely related species (Potentilla palustris = Comarum palustre) to introduce pink or red colouration to the flowers.

The cultivar Fragaria × ananassa 'Variegata' is grown mainly for the decorative qualities of its variegated foliage.

Cultivar names should be shown in single quotes. Names shown in Small Capitals are trade designations, or "selling names", used in certain countries (with the cultivar name shown alongside); the same cultivar may be sold under a different trade designation in other countries.

Variety	Season	Developed by	Released	Pedigree	Notes
Alba	Early Season	New Fruits s.a.s., Italy	2002
Albion[1][9][10]	Day neutral	Univ. of California	2006	Diamante x Cal 94.16-1	This strawberry plant is known for its large to very large fruit. Fruit is mostly conical, very firm and red in color. Its flavor is very good for a day-neutral and is sweet and pleasant. It is a high yielding cultivar with robust runners and stalks. It is resistant to verticillium wilt, phytophthora crown rot and has some resistance to anthracnose crown rot.
Alice[1]	Midseason	East Malling Research, UK	1993
Alinta	Day neutral
Allstar [11]	Midseason	USDA / University of Maryland	1981	US 4419 × MDVS 3184	Strawberry plant, with an almost perfect strawberry shape, is a major variety during the late mid-season. The glossy firm fruit, which holds its size very well, is an excellent u-pick or home garden choice. Its orange/red color and delicate skin lessens its shipping potential. Allstar’s vigor and resistance to red stele, verticillium wilt, moderate resistance to powdery mildew and leaf scorch, makes it suitable to almost any growing region and soil condition.
Amelia	Late Season	East Malling Research, UK	1998
Annapolis	Early Season	AAFC	1984	(Micmac × Raritan) × Earliglow
Apollo		USDA	1970	N.C.1759 x N.C.1729
Archer [2]	Midseason	Cornell /NYSAES	2016		Very aromatic, delicious flavor; High yield; cold-hardy; Tolerant to root rots. Holds large fruit size through multiple harvests for 2-3 weeks. Fruit maximum size 45 g+ (comparable to plum fruit). Suited for growers in New York, Michigan and Minnesota, and along the Mid-Atlantic from Maryland into the Northeast. The 43rd strawberry released by the NYSAES breeding program since its founding in 1880.
Aromel[1]
Aromas [12]	Day neutral	Univ. of California		Cal 87.112-6 x Cal 88.270-1	This strawberry plant is a day-neutral cultivar which has larger fruit and produces greater yields than Selva or Seascape. Aromas produces large quantities of late-season fruit. It also has a broader environmental tolerance and is more resistant to mildew than Selva, and is especially tolerant to spider mites. Flavor is very good. Fruit size and cull rate is superior to Selva.
Asia	Early Midseason	New Fruits s.a.s., Italy	2005
Atlas		USDA	1970
Benton [13]	Late-midseason	USDA-ARS, Oregon	1975	OSC 2414 x Vale	strawberry plant is a Junebearing cultivar, named after Benton County where Oregon State University is located in Corvallis, Oregon. Fruit is very bright, has excellent keeping quality, is conic in shape, and the fruit has good flavor. Fruit is medium to large in size and is recommended for all parts of the Pacific Northwest. Benton appears to have excellent winter hardiness and excellent fruit quality with vigorous growth. The upright habit makes Benton a good bet for home gardeners as well as the commercial grower. It is more drought resistant than Rainier. Virus tolerant. Also tolerant to red stele. Ripens late.
