What kind of strawberry plant should I get?

My bf LOVES strawberries and I would like to grow some in a porch. It gets great sun light. and I live in TN.

I want ever bearing since they grow more than once a year but is it sweet enough to eat fresh?

Or do I need June bearing?



And should I pick the one that gets runner?



Thank you

There are 3 basic types of strawberries.



In your location, you should be able to grow any one of them.



See source for detailed information.
Reply:They all get Runners later in the Summer. For your purpose Everbearing is best, you have just a few all the time, and they are sweet enough to eat fresh, June Bearing Berries are best if you are going to make Pies or Freeze some. The Tennessee Beauty is a nice berry and I would suggest it, its a June Bearer though.
Reply:I really like the Tristar for flavor and it is day neutral (fruits more than twice a year), but of course, strawberries do not like hot weather and I do not know how it will do in Tennessee



Your extension service should have a strawberry variety list for Tennessee (on the internet, I assume)
