Eversweet Strawberry - A Sweet Delight for Gardeners
The Eversweet Strawberry, scientifically known as Fragaria x ananassa, is a popular fruiting plant that has captured the hearts of gardeners and strawberry enthusiasts alike. Known for its sweet and delectable berries, this perennial plant is a delightful addition to any garden
Characteristics
Appearance
Eversweet Strawberry plants are characterized by their lush green foliage, which consists of trifoliate leaves with serrated edges. The plant produces small, white flowers with yellow centers that later transform into juicy, heart-shaped strawberries. These strawberries are typically bright red when fully ripened, adding a splash of vibrant color to your garden.
Flavor Profile
One of the standout features of Eversweet Strawberries is their remarkable sweetness. These berries live up to their name by offering a consistently sweet and flavorful taste. Gardeners and fruit enthusiasts can expect a harmonious blend of sweetness and tartness, making Eversweet Strawberries a delightful treat straight from the garden.
Everbearing Variety
Eversweet Strawberries are categorized as everbearing or day-neutral strawberries. This means that they have a unique ability to produce fruit continuously throughout the growing season, from late spring until the first frost in the fall. This extended fruiting period ensures a steady supply of delicious strawberries, keeping your taste buds satisfied all summer long.
Cultivation Requirements
Climate and Location
Eversweet Strawberries thrive in a variety of climates, making them a versatile choice for gardeners. They are known for their adaptability to both cold and warm regions. However, they tend to produce the best results in areas with mild winters and moderate temperatures. When selecting a location for your Eversweet Strawberry plants, choose a spot that receives ample sunlight, ideally at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Soil and pH
To ensure healthy growth and abundant fruit production, Eversweet Strawberries require well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level ranging from 5.5 to 7.0. Amending the soil with organic matter such as compost can enhance its fertility and moisture-retention capabilities, which are crucial for optimal strawberry growth.
Planting and Spacing
Plant Eversweet Strawberries in early spring or late summer to give them the best chance of establishing strong root systems before winter or hot weather. Ensure proper spacing, allowing at least 12-18 inches between each plant to allow for air circulation and prevent disease. Raised beds or containers can also be used for cultivating these strawberries, offering better control over soil quality and drainage.
Care and Maintenance
Watering
Maintaining consistent moisture is essential for Eversweet Strawberries. Ensure the soil is evenly moist but not waterlogged. Drip irrigation or a soaker hose can be effective methods for delivering water directly to the roots while keeping the foliage dry, which helps prevent fungal diseases.
Fertilization
Eversweet Strawberries benefit from regular feeding with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Apply fertilizer in the spring and again after the first fruiting period to promote healthy growth and fruit development.
Pruning
Prune Eversweet Strawberry plants regularly by removing any dead or diseased foliage and runners. This helps maintain plant vigor and encourages the production of larger and sweeter berries.
Harvesting and Enjoying
Eversweet Strawberries are ready for harvest when they have turned a vibrant red color and are easily picked from the stem. Gently pluck the ripe strawberries, being careful not to damage the delicate fruit. These strawberries are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be used in a variety of culinary applications, such as jams, pies, and smoothies.
The Eversweet Strawberry is a delightful addition to any garden, offering sweet and succulent berries throughout the growing season. With proper care and attention to their specific cultivation requirements, gardeners can enjoy a bountiful harvest of these delectable strawberries year after year. Whether eaten fresh or used in various culinary creations, Eversweet Strawberries are sure to satisfy your taste buds and add a burst of flavor to your garden.

About Strawberries: Strawberries are extremely adaptable and are grown in every state in the U.S. Plants generally grow 6-8" tall and 12" across, are shallow-rooted, and benefit from mulch such as straw, pine needles, or plastic. Prefer a soil rich in all the basic nutrients with a pH of 6 to 6.5. Susceptible to root rot and must be planted in well-drained soil, with crown set at soil level. Yield under the best of conditions is about one basket per plant per season.
June Bearers generally produce a single large crop in spring to early summer (as early as March in warmer regions) and are prolific producers for 3 to 4 weeks. Pick the blossoms off June bearers the first year to boost production the second year.
Everbearers are not as prolific as June bearers but are especially suitable for growers who wish to harvest a constant supply of berries throughout the summer. Plant some of both to have a large harvest to preserve, and plenty to eat all summer!

Limited Dormant Tree & Plant Guarantee
* Claim deadline is June 15th
We guarantee that your dormant tree or plant will arrive in good, viable condition. If your tree arrives in substandard condition, notify us within 3 days of delivery. Please email pictures of the box, inside packaging, the tree and its roots to helpdesk@groworganic.com. We will investigate your claim and process a request to exchange or refund the damaged product.
If your dormant tree or plant has not grown new leaves by June 15th, you may be eligible for our Limited Dormant Tree & Plant Guarantee. This guarantee provides for a store credit for the purchase price of the tree, excluding shipping. Please see the Instructions below.
Important Dates:
- April 1st Dormant trees/plants must be planted in the ground
- May 15th Perform scratch test, if no new leaves have grown
- June 15th Deadline to apply for a dormant tree/plant credit
All required documentation must be received by June 15th for your claim to be considered. Claims or documentation received after June 15th will be denied, without exception. Instructions listed below
Terms and Conditions
We cannot guarantee that your tree or plant will remain alive and healthy after it is received, or bear fruit as there are too many variables in your environment that are beyond our control (i.e. soil preparation, weed and pest control, proper irrigation, chill hours, compatible hardiness for your growing zone, proper choice of pollinator, extreme weather, rodent damage, disease, etc.).
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide a replacement tree/plant of the same species either that same growing season or in future years. Customers are responsible for all shipping fees associated with replacement trees and plants.
If we determine that the tree you purchased directly from us is not viable, we will issue you a store credit (not a refund) for the purchase price of the affected dormant tree or plant. Shipping is not included in the dormant tree/plant guarantee. Store credits can be used to purchase any product we sell and are valid for use only until July 1st of the following year.
Historically, 98% of our dormant trees and plants grow and thrive when they have been cared for and planted using our growing guides. Dormant trees and plants must be planted in the ground by April 1st in order to be eligible for credit. If the ground in your area is still frozen solid, you may temporarily plant your tree or plant in a pot.
Potted, non-dormant trees or plants are excluded from this guarantee as they are not dormant at the time of shipment. Evergreen trees such as citrus, avocado and olive trees are not available for credit under the Dormant Tree and Plant Guarantee.
Instructions
We guarantee that your dormant fruit tree or plant will leaf out, if you care for it according to our growing guides. In the unlikely event that your dormant tree or plant does not have leaves by May 15th, follow these simple steps to apply for a store credit:
Before you call or email, please perform a “scratch test” to determine if the tree or plant is still alive. This video shows how to check for live tissue under the bark. Scratch tests need to be done a few inches above and below the graft.
Green Cambium Layer / Living Trees
If the cambium layer under the bark is green, give your tree a little more time. It is still alive, but hasn’t come out of dormancy yet. Check to make sure that it is getting the right amount of deep root water, enough sunlight and that the weather is warm enough for that type of tree/plant to come out of dormancy. Every tree has its own personality and will come out of dormancy at different times. Be sure to submit the required documentation listed below by June 15th, if it doesn’t grow leaves.
Brown Cambium Layer / Dead Trees
If the scratch test shows a brown cambium layer or if your dormant tree/plant doesn’t have leaves by June 1st, please email us at helpdesk@groworganic.com. All required documentation listed below must be received by June 15th for your claim to be considered. To be considered for the guarantee claim, all required documentation must be received by June 15th. Incomplete submissions will be denied.
Required Documentation
- Order number
- Name of dormant tree/plant and the quantity affected
- Photos of each tree or plant showing:
- The roots (tree or plant must be pulled out of the ground)
- The scratch test areas
- The entire tree/plant
We reserve the right to not issue credit for items that have already been replaced. We also reserve the right to require photographic evidence that the tree/plant was not killed by root rot, rodent or mechanical damage.
