Strawberry- Rubygem PBR (Runner x5)
Fragaria x ananassa
NOT TO TAS, WA
- Very productive
- Exceptional flavour
- Suited to warm to mild climates
An early season (short day) variety with white flowers and red fruit that is wedge-shaped, medium sized and moderately firm. Flesh is red with medium acidity and exceptional flavour. Plants are large with an upright habit and sparse foliage, making harvesting the fruit easy.
Rubygem was developed by the Queensland department of primary industries for commercial production though winter, spring and summer. It is recommended for areas with mild winter climates and is moderately resistant to fusarium and rain damage.
A strawberry runner is an offshoot (also called a 'stolon') from a parent plant that establishes and forms a new plant. The runner is then dug up and sold bare-rooted (without soil or leaves). Runners will give you a head start when establishing a strawberry patch, meaning that you can begin harvesting fruit earlier than if growing plants by seed.
