5 tySiX’ has earlier fruit production and smaller sized fruit than ‘18L33’ and is less vigorous than ‘18L33’. When ‘DrisStraWTWentySiX’ is compared to the propri etary male parent ‘193M68’ (unpatented), ‘DrisStraWTWen tySiX’ has earlier fruit production, larger fruit siZe With better ?avor, and higher total yields than ‘193M68’ and is less vigorous and has ?rmer fruit than ‘193M68’. When ‘DrisStraWTWentySiX’ is compared to the commer cial variety ‘Driscoll El Dorado’ (US. Plant Pat. No. 16,238), ‘DrisStraWTWentySiX’ has a medium density, ?at globose habit that is not everbearing, With strongly glossy leaves and a slightly oblique terminal lea?et base, While ‘Driscoll El Dorado’ has a dense, globose habit that is partially everbear ing, With medium glossy leaves and a rounded terminal lea?et base. Additionally, ‘DrisStraWTWentySiX’ has thick stolons and a broad band Without achenes, While ‘Driscoll El Dorado’ has thin stolons and a narroW to medium band Without

achenes.

When ‘DrisStraWTWentySiX’ is compared to the commer

cial variety ‘DrisStraWEight’ (US. Plant Pat. No. 20,735), ‘DrisStraWTWentySiX’ has a ?at globose habit that is not

everbearing, With strongly glossy leaves, a ?at terminal lea?et 5

margin and an oval terminal lea?et shape, While ‘DrisStra

WEight’ has a globose habit that is partially everbearing, With Weakly glossy leaves, a revolute terminal lea?et margin and an orbicular terminal lea?et shape. Additionally, ‘DrisStraW TWentySiX’ has thick stolons and three berries per fruiting truss, While ‘DrisStraWEight’ has thin stolons and one berry per fruiting truss. We claim:

1. A neW and distinct variety of straWberry plant named ‘DrisStraWTWentySiX’ as described and shoWn herein.
