‘Grenada' is the third of the 3 short day strawberry cultivars released by former UC plant breeders Doug Shaw and Kirk Larsen in 2014. ‘Grenada' produces a substantial amount of fruit early, with an average of 42% of the total yield being produced in the early part of the season, meaning up to May 1 in Watsonville and up to April 1 in Irvine. The fruit is large (bigger than that of ‘Ventana') and of excellent flavor.

Owing to the above exceptional productivity of early fruit, ‘Grenada' is a plant of small size early in the season.

Growers should take care to understand the disease resistance profile of ‘Grenada', which is similar to ‘Fronteras' and ‘Petaluma' in resistance to Macrophomina but is more susceptible to Fusarium wilt. Resistance to Verticillium is similar to that of ‘Ventana', and Phytophthora resistance in line with that of ‘Petaluma' and ‘Fronteras'.
