Meet Karima — an Italian-bred everbearing strawberry that's berry hard to beat. Developed by Mattivi and awarded Gold at the 2026 Excellent Taste Awards, Karima was selected for a strawberry that tastes as good as it looks, with glossy, bright red berries that shine in the garden and in the basket.
Quick highlights:
- Hardiness: Steady and stable through summer heat.
- Productivity: High yields from summer into fall.
- Berry size: Medium, uniform and beautifully glossy berries.
- Flavour: Juicy, fresh and sweet, with award-winning taste.
- Firmness: Firm fruit that keeps well after picking.
As an everbearer, Karima doesn't put all its berries in one basket: it keeps flowering and fruiting week after week until fall frost, and shows good tolerance to powdery mildew. Plant it in full sun in rich, well-drained soil, water at the base of the plants, and set the crown level with the soil surface for a strong start. Grown with care by Lareault, Canada's largest berry nursery.
