Florida Medallion

Florida Medallion (FL 16.30-128) is a new release from the University of Florida strawberry breeding program, approved for release by the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station in 2020. FL 13.27-142 was chosen as a parent for its flavor, firmness, and conical shape, and FL 12.90-53 was chosen primarily for its early yield. It is a short-day variety distinctive for its intense flavor, the best yet of any UF/IFAS strawberry variety, and it produces fewer runners in the fruiting field and nursery than standard varieties.
