The University of California has released a new strawberry. variety named 'Tioga', primarily to replace 'Lassen'. It has consistently out-yielded 'Lassen' as well as other important varieties. The fruit is attractive, long and conical, with a tendancy toward wedginess, slightly lighter in color than 'Lassen', with a very glossy finish. It is firmer than 'Lassen' and the other University of California introductions, and its achenes are Hush with the fruit surface, which make it an excellent shipper. According to R.S. Bringhurst, who describes 'Tioga' in California Agriculture (April 1964), this variety has performed best in California from summer-planted, stored plants.
