dc.description.abstract‘Liz’ and ‘Rocco’ are new short-day (June-bearing) strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa Duch. ex Rozier) cultivars from the North Carolina State University strawberry breeding program in Raleigh, NC. The most outstanding characteristic of ‘Liz’ is its consistently high yields. Total and marketable yields of ‘Liz’ were higher than those of other cultivars tested most years in our trials in North Carolina. Firmness of ‘Liz’ is comparable to ‘Camarosa’. Because of its consistent high yields and moderate firmness, ‘Liz’ can be considered an alternative to ‘Camarosa’. The most outstanding characteristics of ‘Rocco’ are its early season ripening and high soluble solids content. Total yield of ‘Rocco’ is higher than that of ‘Sweet Charlie’ and comparable to cultivars that ripen later in the season. ‘Rocco’ should be considered an alternative to ‘Sweet Charlie’ for early production. U.S. Plant Patents have been submitted for ‘Liz’ and ‘Rocco’.en
dc.description.notesThis research was partially funded by the North Carolina Strawberry Association, North American Strawberry Growers Association, Southern Region Small Fruit Consortium, and the Golden Leaf Foundation. On-farm trials in Virginia were funded in part by the Virginia Strawberry Growers Association. We gratefully acknowledge the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for their assistance with conducting trials at research stations in the state of North Carolina. Extension personnel from North Carolina State University, the University of Georgia, and Clemson University facilitated on-farm trials in NC, GA, and SC, respectively. We also thank Norton Creek Farm in Cashiers, NC, and Nathan Moss for their help with propagation of this cultivar during the last years of trialing. The North Carolina Micropropagation and Research Unit produced virus-tested plant material that was distributed to test sites and nurseries and tested 'Liz' and 'Rocco' for 22 known strawberry viruses.en
