Sonata

Mid Season

Sonata is precisely what a strawberry should be: very tasty and attractive. This mid-season single-cropping variety is characterised by excellent setting and yields of attractive, uniform fruit containing a high percentage of class I strawberries. Sonata strawberries are easy to pick and require little sorting. The variety is suitable for many different cropping systems from Scandinavia to the Alps. Sonata guarantees juicy strawberries with a sweet taste and a distinct strawberry aroma. Typical of Sonata are its conical shape, orange-red colour and attractive crown. The firm fruits retain their attractive shiny appearance even after a few days’ storage.

Opera

Mid Season

Opera is a variety from Fresh Forward’s breeding programme of short-day varieties. Opera combines a range of exceptional characteristics such as large fruit, a beautiful shine and a very high picking rate. These characteristics make Opera an excellent alternative to Elsanta in (greenhouse) table-top cultivation.

Jive

Late season

Jive is a late June bearer with large, firm, very shiny orange-red fruit. The well-shaped, attractive berries are striking for a late variety. They ripen slowly and their harvest period is on average 7 to 10 days later than that of Elsanta. The plant is compact and robust, with a heavy, extensive root system and foliage of a conspicuous dark green colour. It produces only few runners, which means that most of the plant’s energy is directly available for the berries and flower trusses.

Rumba

Early season

Rumba makes for a swinging start of summer. From May onwards the attractive shiny, bright red strawberries add a glimmer to shop shelves. A veritable sight for sore eyes. The uniform fruits are tasty and can be enjoyed for a long time thanks to their good shelf life. The variety matures early, making it very interesting for both growers and retailers. Rumba is a resilient variety that is very well suited for outdoor and tunnel cultivation in northern and central Europe.

Vivaldi

Mid Season

Vivaldi is a mid-season June bearer with shiny bright-red berries, firm flesh and excellent shelf life. The variety bears attractive fruits which taste good and do not bruise easily. Due to its long shelf life, the variety is suited to shipping long distances, making it a good alternative to Sonata in normal and frigo cultures. Vivaldi is also an interesting variety for programmed summer production with waiting bed plants and greenhouse production.
