We’re excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership between Fairbanks Seeds and Limgroup, a leading Dutch strawberry breeder. Together, we’re bringing Limore One, the first professional quality hybrid strawberry grown from seed, to Australia and New Zealand. This variety marks a significant shift in strawberry cultivation, offering numerous benefits over traditional clonal varieties grown from runners.
Limore One F1
- Everbearing Variety: Limore One is an everbearing hybrid, offering continuous production throughout the season.
- Uniform Plants: Being a refined F1 hybrid, Limore One plants exhibit highly uniform growth, ensuring consistent performance.
- Stable Production: This variety delivers stable yields and consistent fruit quality throughout the growing season.
- Fresh Plant Availability: The use of fresh plants, grown from seed, allows flexibility in scheduling, with the ability to provide plants at any time of the year.
- Protected Cultivation: Limore One is best suited for protected growing systems such as greenhouses, table tops, or substrates, rather than open-field production.
When can I expect seed of Limore One?
Initial trial seeds of Limore One are expected to arrive in late 2024, for trials throughout 2025. These initial trials will help us fine-tune Limore One’s performance under local conditions, paving the way for broader availability in the coming years.
