Pajaro produces only moderate yields with winter planting. Summer plantings are recommended, because yields are substantially higher. Pajaro is highly susceptible to rain damage, so is unsuitable for winter harvest. In the Perth area, plant fresh Pajaro runners the last week in May. Selva , which is a weakly day-neutral variety, starts fruiting about three months after planting, regardless of day length, provided that temperatures are satisfactory. The fruit is long, conic and very firm, with only a mild flavour.
Selva is very susceptible to mites.
Selva produces fruit late in summer in cooler areas of the State. Chandler is a short-day variety and should be winter planted. It is high yielding, with excellent fruit colour and flavour. Average fruit size is large, although there is a wide range in fruit size as the season progresses. Chandler plants are vigorous and must be well supplied with water and nutrients.
