Quinault Strawberry
✓ In your garden
Quinault is an everbearing strawberry. It fruits in a couple of flushes — early summer and again in fall. Strawberries are perennials, usually planted in spring from bare-root crowns — set the crown right at soil level, in full sun. Pinch off the earliest flowers so the plants establish before they fruit.
“Two or three flushes through the season.”

Growing Quinault — the things that trip people up
- Set the crown right at soil level — bury it and it rots, plant it too high and it dries out. Full sun, rich soil, and steady water make the sweetest berries.
- These fruit on and off all season, so they make fewer runners — keep them picked, fed, and watered and they’ll crop into fall.
