Lucy, Strawberry

This East Malling Research release has been outstanding when trialed under low cost, unprotected growing systems, producing exceptionally high yields with a 50% pick date 5 to 7 days later than Elsanta.

Lucy delivers very large, attractive, firm, mid-red glossy berries, 80% of which exceeds 35mm. The berries hold exceptionally well on the plant and are unaffected by heavy rain. Lucy has a useful level of resistance to Crown Rot but is moderately susceptible to Verticillium Wilt and Mildew.

This is a high yielding, grower friendly variety well suited to traditional field production.
