Chandler Spring-Bearing Strawberry Plants

‘Chandler’ is a top-performing spring-bearing strawberry variety prized for its exceptionally large berries, rich flavor, and heavy yields. Developed by the University of California, it produces glossy red fruit with firm texture and excellent sweetness, making it a favorite for both home gardens and commercial growing.

Plant ‘Chandler’ strawberries in full sun, spacing plants 12 to 18 inches apart in rows 3 to 4 feet apart. Set each plant so the crown sits at soil level, taking care not to bury it. Choose rich, well-drained soil with a pH of about 5.8 to 6.5, keep the soil evenly moist—especially during flowering and fruiting—and apply mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

As a spring-bearing variety, ‘Chandler’ produces one large crop in early summer. Vigorous, disease-tolerant plants perform well in both raised beds and containers and are best suited to USDA Zones 5–9.

Large, firm, and flavorful, ‘Chandler’ strawberries are excellent for fresh eating, canning, freezing, desserts, and preserves. Its combination of impressive berry size, dependable production, and excellent flavor makes it a standout choice for gardeners who want a productive spring harvest.
