# List of strawberry cultivars

The following is a partial list of strawberry cultivars. Strawberries come in a wide assortment of commercially available cultivars (cultivated varieties). Differences between cultivars may include the date the fruit ripens, disease resistance, freezing quality, firmness, berry size, berry shape, and flavor. Many different cultivars have been developed at the University of California (Davis campus), by Driscoll Strawberry Associates Inc. (Watsonville, California), the United States Department of Agriculture, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and East Malling Research Station in the UK.
Almost all the strawberries listed below are cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa. Two cultivars listed here ('Frel' (Pink Panda) and 'Samba' (Red Ruby)) are bigeneric hybrids, grown mainly for their flower colour rather than their fruit, using a closely related species (Potentilla palustris = Comarum palustre) to introduce pink or red colouration to the flowers.
The cultivar Fragaria × ananassa 'Variegata' is grown mainly for the decorative qualities of its variegated foliage.

## Table

This table includes a list of strawberry cultivars that are commercially available.
Cultivar names should be shown in single quotes. Names shown in Small Capitals are trade designations, or "selling names", used in certain countries (with the cultivar name shown alongside); the same cultivar may be sold under a different trade designation in other countries.
| Variety | Season | Developed by | Released | Pedigree | Notes |
| Alba | Early Season | New Fruits s.a.s., Italy | 2002 | | |
| Albion | Day neutral | University of California | 2006 | Diamante × Cal 94.16-1 | The variety Albion is known for its large to very large fruit. Fruit is mostly conical, very firm and red in color. Its flavor is very good for a day-neutral and is sweet and pleasant. It is a high yielding cultivar with robust runners and stalks. It is resistant to verticillium wilt, phytophthora crown rot and has some resistance to anthracnose crown rot. |
| Alice | Midseason | East Malling Research, UK | 1993 | | |
| Alinta | Day neutral | | | | |
| Allstar | Midseason | USDA / University of Maryland | 1981 | US 4419 × MDVS 3184 | The variety Allstar, with an almost perfect strawberry shape, is a major variety during the late mid-season. The glossy firm fruit, which holds its size very well, is an excellent u-pick or home garden choice. Its orange/red color and delicate skin lessens its shipping potential. Allstar's vigor and resistance to red stele, verticillium wilt, moderate resistance to powdery mildew and leaf scorch, makes it suitable to almost any growing region and soil condition. |
| Altess | Everbearing | Flevo Berry Holding B.V. | 2015 | | The variety Altess is an everbearing variety which growers and consumers strongly appreciate. It is an easy growing variety which combines a good taste, yield and fruit size. It brings beautiful good tasting berries which maintain their gloss after storage. Plants are easy to grow and tolerate root and leaf diseases. In practice it is noticed the variety can stand flower thrips and botrytis relatively well. The variety can also stand some rain. |
