Shoot and fruit development in the strawberry cultivar Olympus were examined at 2 sites, one in Washington and the other in Oregon. It differed from conventional cultivars in its marked crown-branching habit, and showed early and vigorous vegetative growth and a high number of flowers per inflorescence. Analysis of yield components indicated a yield potential of about 44+ ot/ha (19 t/a) but there was a tendency for flower failure or fruit malformation in the primary and secondary ranks of the inflorescence. Plants at the Oregon site exhibited a much greater development of secondary inflorescences than those in Washington.
