Quinault

Quinault is an everbearing strawberry released by Washington State University in 1967 and named for the Quinault region of the Pacific Northwest. It bears large, soft, deep red berries with a sweet flavor over an extended season, producing both in early summer and again in late summer to fall. The plants runner freely and even fruit on the runners, which makes Quinault a good choice for hanging baskets and containers as well as garden rows. Because the berries are soft, they are best enjoyed fresh or used promptly rather than shipped. Home gardeners in cooler and coastal climates favor Quinault for its heavy repeat cropping and its large, sweet, tender fruit.
