UK: Strawberries fit for a Queen
The Royal Sovereign variety strawberry was first cultivated in 1892 and became popular in the 1950s and 1960s.
However, in more recent years the variety has all but disappeared from cultivation, as more modern varieties have been developed.
The crop has all but disappeared from our fields, edged out by hardier varieties.
British strawberry growers are also lending their support to Breast Cancer Care's Strawberry Tea summer fund-raising initiative.
The charity is asking people to host strawberry-themed tea parties between June 1 and August 31 to raise funds.
