There are five types of strawberries: June-bearing strawberries The most common strawberry-growing type, June bearers produce large amounts of fruit in late spring or early summer. Many berry growers choose to plant this variety so that ripe berries arrive just like the other fruits and vegetables planted earlier in the season come to harvest. These varieties typically need to be replaced every two years. Ever-bearing strawberries These strawberries produce a small crop over an extended period during the beginning or end of the strawberry season; some ever-bearing varieties can even flower and fruit at different times throughout the year. Day-neutral -This is another type of popular strawberry that produces fruit all summer long. Unlike June bearing and ever-bearing plants, day-neutral plants stay in the ground for three years. Perennial strawberries These strawberries produce fruit year after year, making them an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add berries to their landscape. Since perennial strawberry plants continue producing for several seasons, they do not need to be replaced every two years. Alpine strawberries These very small-fruited strawberries are grown primarily as ornamental plants and often called "Woodland Strawberries." They produce short, stubby plants that typically have red or white flowers. Alpine Strawberries have a slightly different growth habit than traditional varieties of strawberries and will die back over winter.
