Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct winter planted short-day-type variety of strawberry known as `PS-592`. This new variety is primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the central coast of California. It is particularly characterized by its strong vigorous plant with high yields, large berry size and its ability to remain in fruit production from April through November. The fruit is very attractive with excellent flavor and juiciness, moderate firmness and excellent holding quality.
