Albion strawberry
Fragaria × ananassa · Berry
Top 10 pairings
Albion is a modern California day-neutral strawberry — a large, long-conical berry with a deep, glossy red skin and a fully red interior, bred by the University of California for firmness, shelf life and a clean, well-balanced sweet-tart flavour. It is one of the workhorse cultivars behind the year-round fresh strawberry trade, fruiting across a long season rather than in a single spring flush.
