ëEarliglo is a Junebearing strawberry cultivar which, as the name suggests, produces one crop of fruit per year early in the season (typically June). Junebearers are sensitive to the length of day and send out runners in spring as day length increases. Five-petaled white flowers with yellow centers appear on the plants in early spring and give way to large red berries that mature in late spring to early summer. Junebearing berries are normally larger than the berries produced by everbearing or day-neutral plants.

Best grown in organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Strawberries are a high maintenance food crop which can be grown throughout the United States. Growing recommendations can vary considerably depending upon climate, however, and varieties are often regionally adapted. Grow only certified disease-resistant cultivars. University Extension, University of Missouri-Columbia publishes a pamphlet called ìHome Fruit Production: Strawberries and Their Cultureî (G 6135) which provides basic information on growing strawberries in Missouri. This pamphlet is available for inspection or purchase at the Kemper Center.
