Culver is a garden strawberry cultivar listed by Fruit Growers Service Co. in its 1937 northern planting catalog. The catalog calls it one of the more promising newer berries and says it may become valuable in the nursery’s region [S1].
The fruit is large, somewhat dark, glossy, and bright, with red flesh to the center [S1]. It ripens late in mid-season [S1]. The berry is firmer than Premier. The catalog recommends it especially for preserving and says it has the qualities of a good commercial preserving berry. It may surpass Marshall for that use [S1].
The plant is very productive, with clean, strong, vigorous foliage [S1]. The catalog considered Culver worthy of a substantial trial, suggesting it was still under commercial evaluation rather than an old standard [S1].
No direct zone rating is given. The hardiness statement is comparative: Culver “seems to be as hardy as Dunlap,” a widely grown hardy strawberry used here as the reference point [S1]. Its inclusion in a catalog for hardy fruits for northern planting supports a northern cold climate sales context, but the packet gives no precise hardiness zone [S1].
The source gives no breeder, parentage, release year, or accession history for Culver. Its taxonomy is inherited only from the strawberry section as Fragaria, within garden strawberry cultivars [S1].
