Indulge in the exquisite flavors of the Eclair Junebearer Strawberry, a "short day" or "springbearing" variety that promises an early season abundance of medium-large, wedge-shaped berries. Each berry is a symphony of taste, boasting extremely sweet, medium-firm flesh that is sure to captivate the palates of strawberry aficionados. This variety's resistance to common garden soil diseases makes it a robust and reliable choice for gardeners seeking both quality and quantity in their harvest.
The Eclair stands out with its unique genetic composition, blending the best qualities of both springbearing and everbearing varieties. This results in an extended fruiting season, surpassing that of the Sequoia and other springbearing counterparts. The berries themselves are a sensory delight, fragrant and juicy, with subtle hints of raspberry and citrus that have quickly made them a favorite among connoisseurs. To ensure your Eclair plants thrive, remove flower buds in the first year to allow the plants to focus on establishing a solid root system and a lush leaf canopy. This preparation promises an even more bountiful single crop in the following year, over a 2-3 week period. Add the Eclair Junebearer Strawberry to your garden and experience a gourmet berry that is quickly becoming the choice of discerning strawberry lovers.
