Strawberry - Royal Sovereign

£1.65
Heritage variety bred in 1892 by Thomas Laxton, this is just about the only traditional variety still cultivated today. Bredding programmes in the 20th Century made huge improvements to yeild and disease-resistance, to such an extent that all other heritage varieites became obsolete. Royal Sovereign, however, has kept going due to it's unparalleled reputation for flavour and fruit quality - full to the brim with that 'old-fashioned' strawberry taste. Early season variety.
