Strawberry plant named ‘QHI Sugarbaby’

Abstract

A new and distinct short-day strawberry cultivar is provided. Attractive medium-sized generally conical to cordiform sweet and flavorful fruit with firm flesh is formed in good yields. The fruit is glossy bright red on the outside and medium red on the inside. Resistance to Fusarium Wilt is displayed. The fruiting pattern and yield are similar to the ‘Camarosa’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,708) and commonly fruits later than the ‘Sweet Charlie’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,729) and ‘Strawberry Festival’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,739) cultivars.
