Zone: 4QUINAULT STRAWBERRY
Fragaria x ananassa 'Quinault' is a premier everbearing strawberry variety developed by Washington State University, cherished for its unique ability to produce fruit on unrooted runners. This distinctive trait makes it an ideal "spiller" for hanging baskets and strawberry pots, as the berries will cascade down the sides of the container even if the runners haven't touched soil. 'Quinault' Strawberries produce large, deep red, heart-shaped berries that are remarkably sweet and firm, offering a classic aromatic flavor. Unlike June-bearing types that provide only one large flush of fruit, 'Quinault' delivers a heavy crop in late spring followed by smaller flushes throughout the summer and a final significant harvest in the autumn.
To maximize your harvest, plant 'Quinault' in full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours daily) and rich, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. It is highly adaptable and disease-resistant, but it is a "hungry" plant that performs best with regular applications of a balanced organic fertilizer and consistent moisture, as drought stress during the summer will lead to smaller, seedy berries. 'Quinault' is ideal for raised beds, garden borders, or patio containers where the fruit stays clean and is easy to reach for fresh snacking. When planting, ensure the crown - where the leaves meet the roots - is set exactly at the soil level; burying it too deep causes rot, while planting it too shallow will lead to the plant drying out.
