Fairfax is a garden strawberry cultivar. A 1937 northern nursery catalog describes it as a large, early, self-pollenizing berry with deep red color to the center. The catalog calls it another outstanding variety from the United States Department of Agriculture. [S1]
The same source compares Fairfax with Dorsett in value and popularity. It promoted Fairfax for fruit quality and market value, noting that its firm, fully red fruit sold readily and could bring 50 cents to $1.00 more per crate. [S1]
The fruit is large, firm, deep red to the center, and excellent in quality. The catalog says its eating quality equaled Dorsett, with some people judging it a little better. Its firmness and red interior were presented as commercial advantages. [S1]
The plant is exceptionally vigorous, with large, dark green, healthy foliage and a deep root system. It was said to make plants well and hold up through the fruiting season. In catalog tests, Fairfax produced more than 11,000 quarts per acre in a very wet year and more than 5,000 quarts per acre in a very dry year. [S1]
The source does not state Fairfax hardiness directly. It appears in the certified strawberry plant section of a hardy fruit catalog for northern planting, but the catalog gives no zone rating or explicit winter survival claim for the cultivar. [S1]
No parentage is given in the available source. The strongest origin statement is that Fairfax was introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture. The page context identifies it as a garden strawberry, within the cultivated strawberry group commonly treated as Fragaria x ananassa. [S1]
