They tend to produce a crop in the spring and a small crop in the fall, with little or no crop in between. Ogallala berries are medium sized and dark colored with a fair flavor. Day-neutral cultivars can potentially produce flower buds, and fruit can be harvested about every six weeks regardless of day length. However, these cultivars do not initiate floral buds when the temperature exceeds 85 degrees F. Thus, day-neutral cultivars such as Tribute and Tristar generally produce a spring and fall crop in most of Missouri. Tribute plants produce moderate to high yields.
Berries are large, have excellent firmness and very good flavor.
The plants have good winter hardiness, are resistant to red stele and verticillium wilt and tolerant of the leaf diseases. Tristar plants produce moderate yields. Berries are medium to large and have excellent firmness and outstanding flavor. These plants have good winter hardiness, are resistant to red stele and verticillium wilt and are tolerant of the leaf diseases. Test for workability by digging a shovel full of soil and tightly squeezing a handful.
