Kent Strawberry

Fragaria ‘Kent’

 

Kent produces high yields of bright red fruit. These large, delicious red berries are as juicy as they come. The perfect variety for eating fresh, freezing and for jams. Kent has been a long time favourite of both home and commercial growers. This variety produces one large crop of fruit during a 2-3 week period in early July. Self-pollinating; only one variety required for fruit production.
