AC Wendy Strawberry

A productive variety, AC Wendy holds its fruit size through the picking season. The berry is wedge-shaped to conic with firm, bright-colored flesh and has an exceptional fresh flavor. A vigorous variety that runners well, plants are moderately resistant to red stele but susceptible to Verticillium wilt and leaf diseases, performing best on lighter soil. Growers should note this variety can be susceptible to frost damage due to its early flowers and may require frost protection.We recommend AC Wendy due to its yield, berry quality (size, firmness, and flavor), and disease resistance (moderately resistant to powdery mildew and botrytis).
