Albion
A tier
Albion is a California day-neutral strawberry—conical, firm, deep red, and bred for long-season production with better flavour than many shipping types. Sugar-acid balance is reliable when fully ripe. Excellent for retail fresh packs and continuous harvest programmes. Holds up in shortcake without collapsing instantly.
