'Jewel' Strawberry

Fragaria × ananassa ‘Jewel’ is a June-bearing strawberry prized for the exceptional quality of its fruit and its great reliability in the garden. This variety forms a vigorous, well-structured clump, ideal for in-ground cultivation in the vegetable garden or in fruit rows. Its white spring blossoms are followed by an abundant and concentrated production of large, bright red strawberries, known for their firm, very sweet, and fragrant flesh. The dark green deciduous foliage effectively protects the fruit and contributes to the plant's overall vigor. Particularly well-suited to Quebec's climatic conditions, ‘Jewel’ is renowned for its hardiness, resistance, and excellent yield. It prefers a sunny exposure and rich, loose, well-drained soil, offering a generous harvest ideal for fresh consumption, processing, and freezing.
