I have what were sold as IL everbearing. They really took off growing and then I decided to transplant them some where else and finally this year there are some berries starting out on them. These trees seem to send out long shallow, yellow roots that can be quite large seeking out nutrition. Glad to know that the IL everbearing is a good cultivar.
