Abstract
A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of a day-neutral type characterized by its ability after winter and spring plantings in Central California to produce fruit three months after planting continuously on a cyclic basis throughout summer and fall. The variety is also characterized by its runner prolificacy in the nursery; its ability to flower and fruit at any time independent of day length with minimum conditioning and its fruit which is firm and durable, medium long, blunt-ovoid to wedge-shaped and sometimes hollow centered. The fruit is larger in size than Tioga and has an excellent flavor similar to that of Sequoia.
