Strawberry Symphony This late-season variety was bred in Scotland, and is particularly good for cooler, damper areas. Strawberry ‘Symphony’ is a vigorous, high-yielding plant, with medium to large, conical, brilliant red fruit, firm and juicy, with lovely old-fashioned strawberry flavour. Susceptible to powdery mildew if grown under cover, but not if grown outside. Resistance to red core, and some resistance to vine weevil attack.
