About Cabrillo Strawberries
The Cabrillo Strawberry variety is renowned for its exceptional yield and large, vibrant berries. Known for a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavors, Cabrillo strawberries are an excellent choice for fresh consumption, desserts, and preserves. Cabrillo produces fruit reliably throughout the season and offers a uniform shape and size, making it both productive and attractive.
- Season: Everbearer (continues fruiting through the season)
- Berry Size: Large, with a bright red color and slight sheen
- Flavor: Sweet with a hint of acidity, offering a rich and aromatic strawberry experience
Growth & Climate Requirements
Cabrillo strawberry plants are day-neutral, meaning they can produce fruit throughout the growing season. Best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 5-8 as a perennial, but also adaptable to zones 9-10 as a cool-season annual.
Plant Care
- Spacing: Plant 12 inches apart to allow for air circulation and maximize yield.
- Watering: Regular moisture is crucial; avoid waterlogging to prevent root diseases.
- Fertilization: Regular feeding during fruiting is recommended for best results.
Disease Resistance
Cabrillo strawberries are resilient against common diseases like powdery mildew, verticillium wilt, and phytophthora crown rot. With adequate care, they can also withstand leaf spot and certain pests but may be vulnerable to Anthracnose Crown Rot in specific climates.
Plant History
Developed at the University of California, the Cabrillo variety was carefully bred for high yields and resilience. Released in 2016 after extensive testing, it is now celebrated for both its quality and productivity, achieving record yields compared to similar varieties.
