San Andreas is an everbearing strawberry variety known for its exceptionally large berries, excellent flavor, and extended harvest season. Developed for both commercial and home garden production, this variety produces attractive bright red fruit with firm texture and consistently high quality throughout the growing season. The plants are vigorous, productive, and well adapted to a wide range of climates.

San Andreas is especially valued for its reliable yields, sweet flavor, and strong performance during warmer weather. As an everbearing variety, it produces multiple flushes of fruit over a long season rather than a single concentrated harvest. The berries are large, uniform, and hold their size well throughout repeated harvests. Its firm texture provides excellent shelf life while still maintaining a juicy, balanced flavor ideal for fresh eating and culinary use.

This variety produces continuously from late spring through fall in many regions, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking extended harvests. The berries are excellent fresh, in desserts, preserves, smoothies, and baking applications.

Growing Instructions: Bare root strawberry plants should be planted as soon as possible upon arrival. If they cannot be safely planted outdoors, plant them in a pot of soil indoors and water.

Once the soil is workable, dig a hole deep enough so the roots extend vertically and are not bent. Cover the plants with soil just below the crown (where the plant top meets the roots). The crown should be at soil surface, not buried. Avoid planting strawberries in an area where they were recently grown, or where crops in the tomato family (including eggplants, potatoes and peppers) have grown, as they may carry a root fungus.

Remove all blossoms 6-8 weeks after planting to improve yields. Clip off runners to keep the plants from getting too crowded.

Over the next few year, if you carefully cover your strawberry plants with straw or mulch, they will overwinter and come back the next year in most climates. You can also start fresh with new, disease-free planting stock. If growing in containers, replace the growth medium with fresh sterile medium, and replant with new plants.
