Cultivar 190: Lockhill

Lockhill appears in South Dakota Fruit Garden material as an ever bearing strawberry cultivar in the genus Fragaria. It is listed with Gem, Mastodon, Progressive, Wayzata, and Dry Weather in a recommendation context for South Dakota home fruit gardens. This places it among cultivars considered for repeated bearing rather than one main crop. [S1] [S2]

The surviving evidence is brief. It does not give parentage, breeder, origin, fruit description, season details beyond the ever bearing class, plant habit, or a named hardiness zone for Lockhill itself. The broader page context focuses on hardy fruit growing in South Dakota, but for Lockhill the packet supports only its inclusion in the ever bearing strawberry list. [S1] [S2]

One source also notes scan uncertainty about the parenthetical reading of the name in that list. For now, Lockhill is best treated as a sparsely documented ever bearing strawberry named in a mid 20th century South Dakota recommendation source. [S2]
