A plant, especially a strawberry plant, that produces fruit multiple times throughout the growing season rather than just once.
From 'ever' (always, continuously) plus 'bearer' (one who bears or carries). Compound formed in 19th-century horticultural English to describe perpetual-fruiting plants.
Everbearing strawberries are a horticultural miracle—by breeding out the plant's natural seasonal cues, farmers created a plant that violates its own biology to keep producing fruit, which is why they're slightly less flavorful than 'June-bearing' varieties that follow nature's schedule.
