Compared to ‘Treasure’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,414), ‘American Aroma 12’ produces larger and firmer fruit. Similar to ‘Treasure’, ‘American Aroma 12’ is also tolerant to heat, which can help Florida growers extend their growing season. ‘American Aroma 12’ is more resistant to strawberry anthracnose fruit rot than ‘Treasure’. Because of its earliness, high yield, firmness, long shell life, excellent fruit quality, and healthiness ‘American Aroma 12’ is recommended for fresh market, especially for organic growers.
