Description
The Sequoia Strawberry is a large, red colored, conical shaped strawberry. The fruit is excellent for growing at home, as it is the sweetest, best tasting, and most popular of all home grown strawberries. While officially the Sequoia Strawberry is a "June-bearing" (short-day) plant, it acts as an ever bearer in warm, mild climates, fruiting from late spring through autumn. Shows good resistance to powdery mildew and leaf spot. Don't wait, buy Sequoia Strawberry Plants for sale from Willis Orchards!

Zones
USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. A plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of −1.1 to 4.4 °C (30 to 40 °F).

More Information
Zones 4–8 (Perennial): In these regions, Sequoia thrives naturally year after year. Growers in cooler northern zones (Zones 4–5) typically get one large, concentrated harvest in early summer. In warmer southern areas (Zones 7–8), like our location in Georgia, it is often planted in the autumn to allow roots to establish over winter.
Zones 6–9+ (Extended Production): In mild, warm-winter regions like California (where it was developed) and parts of the South, Sequoia acts like an ever bearer. It will continuously pump out sweet fruit from late spring all the way until the first fall frost.
If you are growing Sequoia in areas with extreme summer heat (such as Zone 9), providing afternoon shade and keeping the soil well-mulched is essential to protect the shallow root systems from frying.
