I don’t have Chandler strawberries. This year I planted ever-bearing (i.e., day neutral) Aromas and Seascape strawberries. I like them, because they are vigorous growers and produce large-sized strawberries that are much larger than Sequoias, although they are not as flavorful as Sequoias. In my garden, the Seascape and Aromas varieties are continuing to produce strawberries in early November. Although the cooler and damper weather and shorter days we have been having in the past few weeks have caused most of the berries to rot before they are fully ripe. However, Aromas and Seascape produced many good quality berries throughout the summer months and into early October, while the Sequoias mainly stopped producing berries after about mid-August. Chandler and Seascape will probably produce berries for a longer season in your climate though.

I live in coastal So Cal, and have a couple of Sequoias. I would really like strawberries all year round, and it appears Sequoia only has fruit during summer. I was thinking of Seascape so would love to hear whether you like them.

PS: hope you can reply to my email above.

Thanks!
