Korona Strawberry Plants

[A Life Less Simple]

I've just bought 50 of these from ebay, does anyone know anything about this variety?

Seems like they're a June fruiting variety, available from Ken Muir.
See below

Acta Horticulturae

A system for winter greenhouse production of strawberries was developed in Norway. Plants of the June-bearing cultivar ‘Korona’ were artificially induced to flower with short-day (SD) treatments

korona

they are a very good croper with large sweet juicey fruits usualy ready about wimbldon time and with 50 plants you need a large family. dont keep them for more than 2 years though take the strongest runner on the first or second year and remove any others and these are your future generation. good luck

I think after 4 years they worked that out! Why have you bumped this thread?
