Cavendish has performed very well and overwintered successfully in Montana. One of the hardiest of strawberries, it has done particularly well in Cut Bank—one of the coldest, windiest, and driest places in Montana, where our family homesteaded (spending the first year in a sod house!).

Winter Care Tips

While these strawberries are quite hardy, it's still a good idea to mulch over them in the fall. Expect them to thrive in areas where other strawberries have difficulty overwintering.

Medium to Large Berries with Great Flavor

The berries are medium to large in size, offering a great sweet/tart (more subacid) fruity flavor. Solid Zone 3.

Perfect for Mid-Summer Harvest

These are great mid-summer strawberries. If you have the space, plant with Honeoye for better pollination. While not absolutely required to get a yield, planting strawberries in pairs has been shown to increase production.
