Strawberry Royal Sovereign A+ Grade Plants (Mid)

Strawberry Royal Sovereign is even older that Cambridge Favourite, it was introduced by Laxtons nursery in 1892. There is one reason why Royal Sovereign is grown by gardeners - its taste! The large wedge-shaped, scarlet berries are simply bursting with that real old fashioned strawberry flavour which few modern varieties can match. Delivered as dormant bare rooted A+ grade plants. A+ grade plants are grown through the summer months and covered with fleece in the beginning for added protection – only plants with a 15mm+ diameter size fall into this grade. They are characterised by having very well developed root systems and, on average, will go on to produce 3-4 trusses per plant which in turn will help to generate more flowers and fruit – 400g+ of berries per plant! We trialled A+ grade plants against standard runners in our trials and were very impressed with the results – around 50% more berries were harvested from the A+ grade plants!
