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!
