Pre-order bare-root plants (sold June through August) will typically begin shipping the 1st or 2nd week of October but could be the 3rd or 4th week. If you are new to planting bare-root plants, we have a great YouTube video HERE. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need assistance with planting. I soak the roots overnight before planting. Please understand that the plant's leaves may come dried and brown from shipping, or might be removed completely. Do not be alarmed. I usually cut them off anyway before planting. The crown will push new leaves.

     Pre-order 6 pack starts and pre-order 4 inch pot single plants (sold July through October) will ship in November and December respectively.

UF/IFAS strawberry cultivars are bred to have the yield, fruit quality and disease resistance that Florida growers need.

     "Ember® is named for its bright red external fruit color. It has excellent overall fruit quality, in particular the unusual combination of a high degree of rain resistance combined with excellent sweetness and flavor similar to Florida Medallion™. It has an excellent overall disease resistance package. In particular this cultivar is less susceptible to Neopestalotiopsis spp. than other current varieties from the UF program, particularly with regard to disease on the fruit. This variety is best suited to open field production and has not yielded as well in high-tunnel environments."

     It's recommended that any pre-order plants are put on their own order. If you would like to order anything else, please place a separate order. Pre-order plants ship separately, when they come in, and the other items ship asap.
