AAC-Evelyn is a mid-late season variety bred for both hardiness and productivity, making it well suited to northern strawberry regions. Plants produce very large, firm berries with a glossy, elongated shape that stands out in pints and clamshells. The flavor is pleasantly sweet, giving you a true dessert berry that also holds up nicely for short-term storage and freezing.

In the field, AAC-Evelyn shows very good winter hardiness and consistently high yields when managed with sound fertility and irrigation. Runner production is medium to good, providing enough plants to fill the row without becoming unmanageable. Its tolerance to foliar diseases helps maintain a healthy canopy through the season, supporting both fruit quality and long-term stand vigor. For growers looking to extend their harvest into the mid-late window with big, showy fruit, AAC-Evelyn is an excellent candidate.
