San Andreas was essentially bred as an improved Albion, offering the same reliable long-season day-neutral production pattern but with several meaningful upgrades: better fruit appearance, fewer runners (and the labor costs that come with managing them), and slightly better disease tolerance. For commercial day-neutral operations, it often delivers better pack-out and lower labor costs than Albion, even if Albion still carries more name recognition with retail buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING INFO:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strawberry plugs ship in Fall 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-decimal flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Stronger Albion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very similar to Albion, but with several advantages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent Fruit Quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firm, attractive berries with great shelf life—well suited for fresh market, wholesale, and retail channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLower Labor Costs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fewer runners than Albion means less time and money spent on runner removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow are they sold?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSan Andreas strawberry plugs are available in quantities of 12 and 48 plants.
