Abstract
A new and distinct spring bearing variety of strawberry plant, characterized by its ability to produce an early large crown crop, even in central California, with large fruit size. It has the ability to produce from April to October with a minimum of runners if transplants are given the correct chilling, at both the nursery and cold storage, before being planted. The variety is particularly distinguished by its good fruit appearance and flavor, and its dark small to medium sized plant. The fruit are produced close to the plant, but located so that they are easily available to pickers, making the variety desirable to the pickers.
