Fragaria x ananassa 'Fenella'

This new late summer strawberry is possibly the perfect variety! It offers an exciting combination of heavy yields, quality fruit and very good disease resistance. The large glossy berries have an excellent, distinctive sweet flavour and are mildly aromatic. In trials it has shown very good resistance to verticillium wilt and crown rot and the fruit can tolerate very heavy rain.

Season: late Summer (late June - late July).

Available for delivery: mid October - late November (fresh dug plants), March - early July (coldstored plants).

If you have ever grown your own strawberries before you will know that the aroma and flavour is far superior to that of shop bought fruit. What’s more, they take up a minimum amount of room and are easy to grow. All they require is a sunny, sheltered spot. Plants can be spaced 30cm (12in) apart in the open ground. Alternatively they can be grown in growbags (10 plants per growbag), or in hanging baskets or containers.

Our hand graded strawberry plants are raised on selected sites in the UK under the Plant Health Propagation Scheme (PHPS) and are guaranteed to be free from pests and diseases.

Unless otherwise stated in the product description, fresh dug strawberry runners are available from mid October to late November and will crop the following season. Coldstored strawberry plants are available from March to early July. These will crop 60-90 days after planting. Please note, some varieties (where stated in the product description) are only available as coldstored plants.

Evidence! I bought the strawberry plants in the spring. Delivered in a well designed container by courier. Very healthy looking plants. Delivery was set against the weather so ideal - delivered - unpacked - planted in troughs. Now, several months later the evidence. The fruits are the largest, sweetest strawberries I have ever had, or grown. Absolutely amazing. I have been growing strawberries in the ground for decades. 3 different varieties. This year I decided to build trees for 12 troughs after reading the professionals don't grow in the ground. In the ground I normally end up giving lots away, or making jam with the excess. This year (2024), a very poor yield. Why mention that? The Fenella plants went into troughs, same compost as the other plants. They produced fruits, some about 30mm long whilst the other varieties struggled to produce 20mm long. As it was the first year in the troughs I was very impressed. Bottom line: Excellent service from Pomona. Easy to use Website. Keen prices - and quality plants. The yield has been excellent even with the unusual weather conditions. Thoroughly recommend the firm and the strawberries.
