Narrative
Fruit: size medium, wedge to short blunt conic, skin quite bright red, turning dark if not picked and marketed promptly when first ripening, flesh deep red, mildly subacid, excellent dessert quality, ripens in early midseason. Plant: runner production moderate, resistant to leaf spot and leaf scorch, sensitive to virus diseases, especially productive when late-season runners are removed, grown from southern New England to Maryland and westward to Kansas.Brooks and Olmo, 1972.Originated by G.M. Darrow, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, from a cross made in 1923, was selected in 1925 and introduced in 1933. Its parentage is probably Etters 450 x Howard 17 (Premier) or Howard Supreme x Etters 450 (Darrow, 1962). It is notable as one of the finest flavored of all strawberries. It does not keep its flavor so well as Suwannee in cool, cloudy, or in hot, windy weather. Fairfax is resistant to leaf diseases but susceptible to red stele root disease and to virus diseases and to fasciation in southern states. Fairfax is a good but not excessive plant marker, its flowers produce the most pollen of any; the berries are good sized, deep red in color, firm fleshed, and the least acid of common varieities. Since virus-free stocks of Fairfax have become available, it is being grown widely.Fairfax has proved to be a good parent and Grenadier (of Canada), Redstar, Sparkle and possibly Kogyoku of Japan (24 in all) have Fairfax as one parent while Cavalier, Guardsman, and Redcoat of Canada, Redguantlet and Talisman of Great Britain, and Arapahoe, Ogallala, Red Rich, and Surecrop are among 38 others having Fairfax in the ancestry (Darrow, 1962). Fairfax transmits excellent dessert quality and freedom from leaf spot. Its limitations are that the berries turn purplish when over-ripe, it is not acid enough for a good freezing variety, and its excellent flavor does not develop under some weather conditions. Its decendants are being used more as parent varieities.G. Darrow. 1966. The Strawberry. p. 152.
