A study was conducted to determine the effect of planting date on the fruit yields of strawberry ( Fragraria x ananassaDuch.) transplants grown in a winter annual hill production system. Bare-root and plug transplants of 'Sweet Charlie' and 'Camarosa' from a high latitude or high elevation nursery were planted each week during October 1999 and 2000 at Dover, Fla. Planting date had a significant effect on December yield. Transplants planted in early October generally had higher December yields than transplants planted in late October. Planting date also had significant effects on January, February, and March yields, but these effects were not consistent across years or cultivars. Economic analysis demonstrated that bare-root transplants returned significantly more revenue than did plug transplants.
