A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant, referred to by its cultivar name, ‘NSG 9’, is provided which exhibits a semi-dense habit and an upright growth. ‘NSG 9’ displays, on an early basis, white inflorescence generally at a level above the foliage. ‘NSG 9’ commonly displays a calyx that is larger than the diameter of its corolla when open. ‘NSG 9’ forms in abundance early-ripening attractive fruits of large dimensions, longer in length than in width, mainly conical, with very firm flesh and orange red color. The new variety is particularly well suited for the commercial industry.

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named ‘SB_14_225-001’. This new strawberry plant named ‘SB_14_225-001’ is primarily adapted to the growing conditions of West Central Florida, and is primarily characterized by its achenes typically set even with or just below the surface of the fruit, vigorous plant habit, very high marketable yield, early time of first flower and fruit, and very large berry size.
