Yes,most det are early and some keep putting out fruits later,for me it all depends on the weather. Ones that keep going,for me, include Stupice, Matina, Kimberly, Glacier and Tamina.

I think it best for me just to comment on the ones that I know very well.

Sandpoint, taste I hate. Bred by Dr.Boe in Idaho and there are 4 other similar ones

Silvery Fir Tree,pretty foliage but taste too aggressive for me

Clear Pink Early,why not try it,does OK for me,but not much more and have never seen 2 flushes of fruits. Another one from Russia;

Heidi, I'll link to Tania on this one since there are varying opinions.

For me Kimberly produces earlier and all season ...but not as much as

Matina/Tamina which is later ...but for me a heavier crop produced...

They work well as Partners.

Glacier seems to me to peter out after the first flush ..

another one like these mentioned is Bloody Butcher ....which seems to me always has larger fruit than the others ..but not as consistent outcome ...as a container grown variety.

Matina /Tamina is my overall favourite of that grouping when container growing ..


Carolyn which varieties do you mean ...when refer to 4 other similar ones to sandpoint ?

I am keen to try out some hopeful "spitters" even if they produce under

difficult environment .
