Product Description
Bring high performance and continuous harvests to your garden with Portola Everbearing Strawberry Plants, a day-neutral variety known for its large, glossy berries and consistent sweetness throughout the season.
Developed by the University of California breeding program, Portola is similar in size to Albion but with lighter, shinier fruit and a slightly milder, balanced flavor. These vigorous, fast-establishing plants yield heavily from spring through fall, producing firm, juicy berries ideal for fresh eating, preserves, desserts, and smoothies.
With strong productivity and a reliable disease resistance profile, Portola strawberries thrive in USDA Zones 4–8, making them an excellent choice for both home gardeners and small market growers.
