Seascape

Seascape was a disappointment. I have concluded that everbearing strawberries are not worth growing. Though the flavor was good, somewhat tart and sweet the berries ranged from thimble-sized to medium sized, based on 2 seasons of growing in Virginia. I have grown 5 other varieties of strawberry, one of them an everbearing (whose name I have since forgotten) and 4 of them June bearing. My June-bearing strawberry varieties have medium and very large berries. These are the smallest berries of any variety I have grown.

Seascape was one of 5 varieties we trialed for 3 years in our home garden. It was the least winter hardy variety. Fruiting was average. Taste was good...a bit more tart than others. The absolute winner of our trial was the Eversweet variety...strong plants, excellent overwintering, very productive & excellent flavor. Tribute variety was a distant 2nd place, with good production & very good flavor.

My 2019 crop was a disaster 5% of the crop died two weeks after planting and many plants never made flowers.
some berries were medium although, 80% were to small to market ( pea to grape size.)

I'm mostly retired from vegetable farming now, but grow a few berries for the grandchildren. We have been Nourse customers for at least 3 generations, and I have attended professional training at the farm. Of the 5 kinds that I planted last spring, the Seascape was by far the best of the day neutrals, and for my purposes will be all that I plant in the future. I thought that my soil was good, and limited fertilizer at first. Berries were small. I added a higher rate of a generic "Miricle Grow" (tm) via the drip irrigation, and the berries sized right up. Production was good. I'll be interested to see how they compare to June bearers next season.

Simply an incredible berry ! The berries are large , very sweet and is one of the most prolific berries that I have grown . I live north of Seattle and they have not slowed in their production June - oct with heat , rain , neglect when I was out of town for a week and consistently produces great quality berries ! I highly recommend.

Planted April 1st, Hydroponic in 100% Perlite, in a greenhouse. We had cool temps for awhile so they were slow but have just exploded in mid June. First berries were small but now are pretty large and sweet if picked ripe. Planted same number of Albion at the same time. Berries are virtually identical to look at but seascape has double the production. Will replace the Albion next year with Seascape.

I have ordered these strawberries for many years now. They are wonderful during their first two years. After that, I replace them. Lots of large berries. Will reorder again.

I purchased these bare root strawberries and not one of them lived. I do not know what happened they were in the same raised bed with my beans, and the beans did great.
