HOOD

Known for its exceptionally high sugar content and deep red color throughout, Hood is one of the most popular Northwest straw berry varieties. The large round fruit are tiny flavor bombs that melt in your mouth. Good for making preserves and jams, but berries should be eaten or processed within hours of being picked. Vigorous and productive plants that can be tricky to grow, but well worth the work! June bearing. Resistant to root rot, mildew, and red stele. Hardy in zones 6–10.  Strawberry plants are shipped bare root starting in March. Order early for best availability. Detailed planting information and growing instructions are included with each order. Not available to US Territories or Canada.
