Allstar is a midseason June-bearing strawberry released by the USDA in 1981 and popular throughout the eastern and central United States. It produces large, firm, glossy orange-red berries with a mild, sweet flavor and a pleasing conical shape. The vigorous, disease-resistant plants are heavy runner producers that quickly fill a matted row, and they are noted for reliable performance and broad adaptability. Allstar is resistant to red stele and tolerant of several leaf diseases, which makes it an easy, dependable variety for home gardens. Its large, attractive fruit and consistent yields, combined with good disease resistance, have kept it a widely recommended choice for gardeners wanting a low-fuss midseason strawberry.
