This cultivar is an everbearing strawberry which produces a first crop in spring and then subsequent crops at six week intervals thereafter throughout the summer and into fall. Unlike junebearers, this everbearer is not sensitive to the length of day. Five-petaled, white flowers with yellow centers appear on the plants starting in spring. Flowers give way to medium sized, red berries. Everbearing strawberries are normally smaller than the berries produced by junebearing plants. 'Tribute' generally does well in the St. Louis area.

Grow in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Prefers organically rich, sandy loams. Strawberries are a high maintenance fruit crop which can be grown all over the United States. Growing recommendations can vary considerably depending upon the climate, however, and varieties are often regionally adapted. Grow only certified disease-resistant cultivars. University Extension, University of Missouri-Columbia publishes a pamphlet called \Home Fruit Production: Strawberries and Their Culture\" (G 6135) which provides some basic information on growing strawberries in Missouri and is available for inspection or purchase at the Center for Home Gardening."
