Sequoia Strawberry Plant

Sequoia Strawberry is a dessert-quality variety that stands out for its exceptional flavor — outstandingly sweet with a subtle subacid balance and rich, pleasing aroma that makes these berries as enjoyable to smell as they are to eat. Developed by the University of California and introduced in 1972, it’s an early-ripening June bearer that delivers large, gorgeous fruit without a long wait.

Show-Stopping Berries With Outstanding Flavor

Sequoia produces large to extra-large berries with a distinctive long conic shape, glossy red skin, and plump, juicy flesh. The flavor profile is classic and satisfying — deeply sweet with just enough acidity to keep things interesting, and an aromatic quality that sets it apart from more modern varieties. These are the kind of berries that disappear straight from the patch before they ever make it to the kitchen.

Early to Ripen, With Potential to Keep Going

Sequoia is an early-maturing variety, ripening in June and often continuing to produce into fall under the right conditions. That extended production window, combined with its vigorous runner production, means your patch can expand naturally over time — more plants, more berries, more seasons.

Why Growers Love Sequoia

A Great Choice for Fresh Eating and Desserts

Sequoia’s rich flavor and firm, juicy texture make it a natural for shortcakes, tarts, and fresh fruit bowls. The large berry size also makes them ideal for dipping in chocolate or serving whole as a showpiece dessert fruit.
