Why did you choose this?

I want to have a variety of strawberries

Caught a great deal!

Success in the past

This variety was recommended to me by a grower that really knows her strawberries.

Is this a june bearing or ever bearing plant? It says it may bear into fall?

Although Sequoia is officially considered Junebearing, the plants produce like an everbearing strawberry in mild climates, putting on berries throughout the warm season.

What animals would feed on this strawberry?

Many animals are attracted to strawberries, due to their sweet taste and strong aroma. Here are some common ones that might feed on them:

Mammals:
Squirrels – Will nibble on ripe strawberries.
Rabbits – Love to eat leaves and berries.
Deer – Will eat both fruit and foliage.
Rodents (Mice, Voles, Chipmunks) – Often chew on low-hanging berries.
Raccoons – Opportunistic eaters that enjoy ripe fruit.

Birds:
Robins, Sparrows, Starlings, and Blackbirds – Peck at strawberries, often before they fully ripen.
Crows and Blue Jays – May take whole berries.

Insects & Others:
Ants – Feed on overripe or damaged fruit.
Slugs & Snails – Eat soft, ripe strawberries, especially at night.

How to Protect Your Strawberries:
Use netting or row covers to deter birds.
Place fencing or raised beds to keep out rabbits and deer.
Set up straw mulch or copper tape to discourage slugs and snails.

Sequoia Strawberries: The add says "Grow your own excellent dessert-quality fruit without the wait." Does that mean first season fruit?

You might see some fruit the first year, but we'd encourage you to pinch off most (if not all) of the flowers that appear the year they plant in order to let the plants establish the first year and fruit the next. "Without the wait" refers to the fact that Sequoia matures earlier in the year than other varieties.

What kind of soil do most strawberry prefer. Natural or acidic?

Strawberries do best grown in a more neutral soil with a pH of 5.5 - 6.5.

What do they mean 25 a pack? What is a pack?

It is a pack of 25 bare root plants.

Is there only one plant in the 4” pot?

Yes 1 single potted.

What is a pack of 25?

This means there are 25 bare root plants in this bundle.

Barefoot or plants?

I guess it depends on the grower Stark brokers them through, and sometimes there is an option for a potted plant or bare root, but bare root is definitely the way to go with these.

What are bare root strawberries ?

Bareroot strawberries are strawberry plants that are sold dormant, without soil around their roots. They are typically dug up from the ground, cleaned of soil, and stored in a cool environment until they are ready to be shipped and planted.

What kind of strawberries are the best to plant in a bed with asparagus?

I have strawberry beds and asparagus beds, not together. Both send out runners, so might be interesting. I would plant June bearing strawberries, where ever you plant them. They are hardy (my zone is 5) and produce the best.

Plants meeting all my expectations...
I ordered a 25 pack on sale of bare root Sequoia and Tribute strawberry plants. I prepped 50 each 3" starting pots with a moistened mix of 1 part potting soil and 1 part perlite (50/50). When the roots arrived I soaked them for an hour in water and separated them from the bundle. Both sets had 27-28 roots in them and all of the crowns were soft with just a peak of a leaf showing. I trimmed the roots to 2" in length, spread then out a bit and placed then into their individual pots that had an inch of soil mix in the bottom. Holding the crown up I back filled the rest of the pot with only the crown showing. I gently watered the crowns to wash off some soil and settled the mix into the pots. Making sure the crowns were above the soil level I put them under my grow lights, checking on them daily and after a week ALL of my 55 plants had 1-3 leaves growing and doing well. In a couple of weeks my planter bed will be ready and I'll transplant them all. If they don't make it at this point it's on me. Very satisfied with the quality and survival rate of these plants as I have been with all of Stark's plants in the past. The key for me was to have everything ready to go when the plants arrived and to not over water the plants.
