"The Joe Pickers Strawberry"

[swaine]

The Sir Joseph Paxton strawberry, really quite rare now, i obtained this variety from a friend who entrusted his strawberry collection to me to go with my strawberry collection,

i also given a snippet of newspaper with mention of this strawberry in hampshire with the strawberry pickers being called "joe pickers" named after this strawberry, i do have some other bits of information on this variety but info is scarce
best wishes stew

Hi, I am trying to help a friend on the continent to find old strawberry varieties with excellent flavour. He mentioned this variety. Would you be able to let me have a plant, or can you give me any leads on where it might be obtainable? Thanks, Jane
