Ordering

Most strawberry cultivars at FPS are patented by the University of California (UC) and can be supplied only to those who are licensed by UC Davis Office of Research InnovationAccess (IA). To request a license, please contact Atalanti Pitsillides by email at [email protected]. The application process requires approximately four to six months. Licensing with IA does not guarantee the availability of plants. Varieties off-patent in the U.S. may still have restrictions when distributed outside the U.S. Buyer must be a licensed propagator of UC-patented strawberry cultivar(s) before receiving their material.
