Tristar

Tristar is a day-neutral strawberry released by the USDA in 1981 and valued for combining continuous fruiting with excellent flavor. It bears small to medium, firm, dark red berries with a rich, sweet taste often compared to the finest June-bearers, but spread across a long season from early summer to frost. The plants produce relatively few runners and instead put their energy into repeated flowering and fruiting, making Tristar well suited to strawberry pots, hanging baskets and small-space beds. It also carries good resistance to red stele and Verticillium wilt. Gardeners choose Tristar for a steady trickle of high-quality berries rather than one large flush, and for its adaptability to container culture.
