The best sort of remontant strawberry

Every gardener would like strawberries on his site to bear fruit as long as possible. As if listening to their desires, tireless breeders bred remontant strawberries. What are the features of these varieties, and which ones are the best? Consider in the article.

Strawberry repair and its features

Remontant strawberry varieties bear fruit several times in one season. The first harvest ripens as usual - in July. The second is expected in August, the third - in the fall. This last crop will only be harvested if there is no frost or if the strawberry is growing in greenhouses. Flower buds, from which the crop will later be formed, remontant varieties are laid during daylight or neutral daylight hours.

The second harvest is more plentiful - it accounts for 70-80% of the total fruiting. And this can lead to the fact that the bush will die. The harvest takes place on both maternal and young plants formed at the beginning of the season after the rooting of the antennae. If the peduncles are removed in the spring, then the volume of the second crop can be increased.

Renovated strawberries are a great choice for gardeners looking for big yields.

Repairing strawberries participate in an accelerated development cycle, which is why they are rapidly aging, therefore, next year, even large-fruited varieties will give birth to small berries.

To avoid these disadvantages, you need to follow these rules:

• planting seedlings should take place on a new bed from July to September;
• after planting seedlings, all flowers must be cut off;
• instead of seedlings, you can use antennae-offshoots from mother bushes, or use seeds;
• when fruiting ends - in the fall, before the first frost, the bushes must be removed from the garden;
• the beds must be mulched - with straw, sawdust, hay, dry leaves, weeds cut down. Read also the article: → "Mulching strawberries with sawdust."

The place for the growth of remontant strawberries should be spacious, well-lit. The soil is fertile. The distance between the bushes is at least 40 centimeters; between the rows - 60. Between two adjacent rows, it is good to plant garlic, which will drive slugs away from the bushes.

★ The best varieties of remontant strawberries

These varieties can be small-fruited, large-fruited. Each of these species can represent their best varieties.

Small-fruited, with small berries

They are often called strawberries. Small-fruited strawberries do not develop whiskers. It reproduces only by seeds. But its main advantage is that it bears fruit continuously, until the very frost. The best varieties of small-fruited strawberries:

1. Ali Baba. A plant with semi-spreading powerful bushes 15 centimeters high, on each of which many inflorescences are formed. Conical fruits of red color with white flesh have a pleasant forest aroma. Berry mass - 3-5 grams. It is a high-yielding variety that is resistant to diseases and pests. Winters well.
2. "Alexandria". The weight of the berries is 7 grams. High-yielding variety. Unpretentious care.

• several waves of fruiting;
• large-fruited;
• early maturity.

It also has its disadvantages:

• plants age quickly;
• from year to year the fruits become smaller;
• its berries are less tasty than the berries of ordinary garden strawberries;
• bushes and leaves are weaker.

Fertilizing and feeding remontant strawberries

An original way to grow remontant strawberries, which will bring an excellent harvest of fruits

In the soil for growing remontant strawberries, melt water should not stagnate, but it should absorb moisture well. Therefore, organic fertilizers must be added to it. Especially a lot of them are needed on heavy clay substrates. For this, wood ash, humus, bird droppings are used.

Strawberries are in dire need of feeding during the growing season. Therefore, during this period, organic fertilizers must be added to the irrigation water once a week. But even with regular feeding, remontant strawberries do not have enough nutrition. Due to its ultra-high yield and high activity, it so badly needs additional portions of micro- and macroelements.

Tip # 1. It is necessary to feed the plant roots with liquid complex fertilizers for berries every month.

If it is not possible to use organic substances every week, it is necessary to increase the amount of the working solution of complex fertilizers for each bush with monthly feeding. In this case, the concentration of the mixture is prepared strictly according to the instructions.

• They feed remontant strawberries at least 3 times a year, and just in time. Until the foliage grows rapidly, it can be fed from a solution of manure and ammonium sulfate. Read also the article: → “How to feed strawberries in the fall. The experience of gardeners ”.To do this, 1 tablespoon of sulfate is mixed with 2 cups of cow dung and diluted in 10 liters of water. 1 liter of solution is poured under each bush.
• In the first year of planting, plants are watered with a mullein solution (1 glass per 5 liters of water) at the rate of one glass of the mixture for each bush. Nettle infusion works well: a bucket of freshly picked herbs is poured with water and left to infuse for 3 days. You can spray the bushes with this infusion for the first time even before the strawberries bloom. The second is when the crop is harvested.
• At the end of May, before flowering, it is also fertilized with a mixture of 10 liters of water, 2 tablespoons of nitrophoska and 1 teaspoon of potassium sulfate. 0.5 liters of this fertilizer are poured under each bush.
• It is advisable to carry out top dressing in the spring, before the leaves bloom. This can be done simultaneously with the removal of old whiskers and leaves, as well as transplantation.

How to feed a berry during flowering

You can feed strawberries with chicken droppings and humus very carefully, because when you fall asleep a bush, you risk ruining the entire future harvest.

• Strawberries need a lot of potassium to form fruit. Therefore, as a top dressing, you can take an infusion of chicken manure, ash or potassium nitrate.
• During the flowering period, strawberries are sprayed with 0.02% zinc sulfate solution. At the very beginning of flowering, it can be fertilized with a mullein solution. In order to increase the yield, strawberry bushes are sprayed with microelements during flowering and the formation of ovaries: add a pinch of boric acid to 10 liters of water. You can also use ready-made fertilizers created specifically for strawberries.
• The yield of berries can be increased by 30% using a complex fertilizer, which contains all the necessary trace elements.
• However, feeding remontant strawberries is needed not only during flowering. Secondary fertilizers should be added to the soil immediately after the main crop is harvested - in mid or late July. Leaves and whiskers are cut at the same time. Then the bushes are treated with a solution of 2% Bordeaux liquid to destroy parasites and insects living in plants.
• The last time young plants, which are one year old, are fed in mid-September in dry weather.

Feeding remontant strawberries with yeast

Feeding strawberries in spring with boric acid

More recently, gardeners and gardeners began to use yeast to feed strawberries.This improves the yield. Yeast can be used as a fertilizer for other berries and vegetables. Plants are fed 2 times per season. A 5 liter bucket is usually enough for 10 bushes. A 1-kilogram pack of yeast is diluted in 5 liters of water.

Tip # 2. For feeding, 0.5 liters of the mixture is diluted in 10 liters of water. Pour 0.5 liters of the mixture under each strawberry bush.

In addition to the usual, you can use fast yeast. 1 bag of dry yeast and 2 tablespoons of sugar are diluted in a little warm water and left to infuse for 2 hours. When watering, add 0.5 liters of solution to the watering can.

Typical diseases and pests of strawberries

This picture perfectly shows what a big harvest a remontant strawberry gives with proper care.

The most dangerous diseases:

• gray rot (see → how to treat gray rot on strawberries),
• powdery mildew (how to treat powdery mildew),
• late blight wilting,
• brown spot
• brown, white, angular spotting.

Agrotechnology of remontant strawberries provides for the prevention and control of pests and diseases. The main preventive measure is the selection of resistant varieties. The reason for the total spread of fungal infections can be high humidity, dense plantings. Mulching does not allow strawberries to come into contact with waterlogged soil, and this saves them from rot. Read in more detail: → "6 diseases and 5 main pests of strawberries: how to treat and how to fight."

Strawberries cannot be planted in a place where tomatoes, peppers, potatoes used to grow, from which they can inherit verticillary and fusarium wilting. At the first symptoms of the disease, the bushes must be immediately treated with 2% Bordeaux liquid, potassium permanganate or phytosporin.

To suppress the dangerous pest of strawberries - the strawberry mite, insecticides are used. But they can only be applied after harvest. If aphids have started in the leaves and shoots of strawberries, they can be scared off with a solution of laundry soap with the addition of wood ash.

Heading "Question-answer"

Berries of remontant strawberries close-up, the fruits of this variety are quite voluminous and in large quantities, with simple care

How to care for remontant strawberries?

Experienced summer residents argue that large-fruited remontant strawberries (popularly called rem. Strawberries) need not only regular feeding, a high level of agricultural technology, but also a significant frequent replacement of fruiting bushes. Of course, the bush will bear fruit the next year, and in a year, however, the yield may significantly decrease, compared to that which will give a young plant.

Therefore, in late spring or early summer, you need to leave a little mustache from young (at the age of 1 and a little over a year) well-bearing plants. As soon as the whiskers take root, they should be separated and planted for growing in containers, or immediately in the place of their permanent cultivation in the next season. The young plant is grown, the bush is allowed to develop, and fruiting is allowed in the second half of summer. The main work of the remontant strawberries is in the next season.

Thus, remontant strawberries are grown for 1.5 seasons, then the aged plant is removed. To make the most of the opportunities, accelerate the onset of fruiting and extend it in the fall, it is better to cover the remontant strawberries with a non-woven cloth, with periodic access of pollinating insects.

A scarlet juicy berry ... What could be tastier and more beautiful than ripe strawberries, which you just want to pick right from the garden and eat ?!

Yes, strawberries are a real queen of taste, a princess of berries, summer weakness and aromatic temptation.

The berry is very much appreciated by domestic gardeners for its taste and useful properties, as well as for its low pickiness and unpretentiousness in growing on a personal plot.

Recently, more and more new types of strawberries have appeared, which amaze with their unprecedented juiciness, sweet and delicate aftertaste, rich aroma. Moreover, modern varieties of berries are becoming popular, characterized by abundant reusable ripening. They are called remontant. The best of them will be described in this article.

How to grow and harvest fragrant berries? What are the secrets of high-quality care for her? What are the tastiest and most aromatic varieties? Which one to plant on your site?

Definition of a variety

The best remontant varieties of strawberries are capable of bearing fruit several times a year; in greenhouse conditions, this process can occur continuously. Often, berries of this type are large in size, spectacular appearance and pleasant taste. In the garden, they can ripen throughout the summer, right up to the first frost. However, not all so simple.

For example, frequent and abundant fruiting leads to a rapid depletion of the shoots, so that next year the plants may not yield at all or the berries will become small and tasteless. How to avoid such a nuisance? Are there certain secrets of growing remontant crops? Let's find out.

Planting strawberries

Planting this type of strawberry is no different from the usual one. For this, it is very important to choose healthy and strong seedlings that can take root in a new place.

In addition, you should carefully study the features of the selected variety: in what place will the shoots take root most comfortably? Do they love the sun or, on the contrary, the shadow? Do they prefer a calm area on a hill, or is the lowland and dampness the best conditions for their growth? If the basic rules for a particular species are followed, then the strawberry harvest will be tasty and abundant.

But still, there are some secrets related only to remontant varieties. For example, in most cases, such a culture is very fond of space and sunlight, so the distance between the bushes should not be less than forty centimeters. It is also important to maintain a certain distance between the rows - about fifty to sixty centimeters. In addition, it is recommended to plant a strip of garlic through each garden bed, which will deter many pests from juicy and ripe fruits.

What is further caring for sweet berries?

Care features

Growing remontant strawberries and caring for them requires some effort and expense. But believe me, it's worth it!

First of all, it is important to remember that such crops are very fond of moisture. Therefore, watering should be carried out as often as possible. For better absorption of liquid, it is better to mulch the bushes. This can be done with sawdust, dry grass, or leaves. This protection will not only keep the soil moist and moist, but will also prevent ripe fruit from contaminating the bunches on the ground.

To get a bountiful harvest, the plant should be regularly fed with mineral and organic fertilizers.

In addition, it is important to ensure that the bushes do not weaken prematurely. To do this, it is necessary to remove all antennae-appendages, and prune before wintering.

Specific types of varieties

Modern varieties of remontant strawberries differ from each other in taste, appearance, fruit shape, endurance, etc.

Allocate large-fruited and small-fruited strawberries, beardless and the one that reproduces with the help of shoots, thermophilic and adapted to more northern latitudes.

Below is a detailed overview of the best remontant strawberries as they become popular. The article also provides tips for planting and breeding.

Strawberry Queen Elizabeth II

This type of remontant culture is considered the most common and optimal for cultivation in our territory. It is quite frost-hardy, not susceptible to all kinds of diseases and pests, it can bear fruit all year round (in the beds - starting from May).

Other advantages of the Queen Elizabeth II variety are large berries (approximately sixty to one hundred grams each), abundant yield (up to one and a half kilograms per bush), spectacular color (rich raspberry, glossy color), decent density and transportability, pleasant gustatory range. True, not everyone agrees that the “royal” fruits are juicy and fragrant. Some gourmets consider them slightly sweet and even “wadded”. But, most likely, the taste of this strawberry variety depends on the conditions of their ripening.

There is one more small drawback of Elizabeth II - it is her rapid weakening. The next year, the berries will become very small, and the yield will drop sharply. Therefore, the plant of this variety should be updated every new year.

Strawberry Albion

Repaired strawberries Albion occupies a conditional second place in the ranking of the most popular and delicious crops that can bear fruit several times per season.

It differs from Elizabeth II in strong stems, so that the berries do not lie on the ground, but hang in an upright position. Another difference is that this variety is sensitive to drought. If the soil is deprived of moisture and the necessary nutrition, the bushes cease to bear fruit. Strong gusty wind and frost are also dangerous for them.

Berries of the Albion variety are very sweet and aromatic, have a shiny glossy surface of bright red color. During transportation, they can keep their shape and appearance for a long time.

Albion is not as productive as Elizabeth II, since the weight of its largest berry reaches only sixty grams, while the yield of the bush varies from five hundred to seven hundred grams.

Nevertheless, the variety is resistant to various diseases and pests, which makes it slightly easier to grow and care for.

Strawberry Diamant

The repairing strawberry Diamant, in comparison with the above varieties, has rather small fruits, the weight of which ranges from twenty-five to thirty-five grams, which does not at all affect the abundance of the crop.

The berries of this culture are dense in consistency and slightly juicy, have an oblong shape and red, with an orange tint, color. They are less susceptible to disease and very unpretentious in care.

Strawberry Lyubava

The next best remontant strawberry variety is Lyubava, which differs from the above species in its incredible frost resistance and yield. Although the fruits are small in weight and size (about thirty to forty grams), under favorable conditions the bush can produce up to one and a half kilograms of berries in one season.

Lyubava is characterized by delicious sweetness and delicate strawberry aroma.

Strawberry bourbon

This variety has excellent taste and abundant harvest. Bright red juicy berries weighing up to sixty grams do not change in volume until the last fruiting. They are resistant to both low and high temperatures, have strong immunity to some diseases and pests.

Ali Baba's strawberry

The small-fruited Ali Baba strawberry variety can be safely attributed to the remontant strawberry variety, since the fruits have a particularly pleasant taste and aroma of this forest beauty.

Bright red fruits weighing up to ten grams ripen throughout the summer period, so about half a kilogram of ripe and juicy berries can be harvested from a small strawberry bush in one season.

The variety is characterized by unprecedented resistance to drought, frost and diseases, it is noted for ease of cultivation and care.

Repair Strawberry Temptation

It is another popular variety with abundant, reusable yields and good palatability.

Strawberries have a nutmeg aftertaste, very juicy and incredibly sweet. They are unpretentious to care for, so they can even grow on a windowsill.

During the season, the bush of Temptation can bring a bountiful harvest: from one and a half to three kilograms, regardless of natural conditions and the length of daylight hours.

We have analyzed the main types of remontant strawberries that are in great demand in our homeland. Now let's discuss other varieties of sweet berries and find out how they have individual characteristics.

Varieties with large berries

From the above information, we learned that large-fruited varieties of remontant strawberries include Elizabeth II, Temptation and Diamant. However, along with these tasty “giants”, it is also worth mentioning the Moscow Delicatessen, San Andreas, Capri, etc. What are these species remarkable for?

Moscow Delicacy, whose berry weight varies from fifteen to thirty-five grams, is distinguished by abundant fruiting, sweet and sour taste and good resistance to low temperatures and diseases. This variety is characterized by seasonal wilting of the bushes, so they need to be updated annually.

San Andreas bears fruit with large berries weighing thirty to forty grams, characterized by incredible sweetness and juiciness. During the season, a rich harvest (up to three kilograms) can be harvested from one bush.

Capri is a very sweet and aromatic early ripening strawberry with firm and juicy flesh. The weight of each fruit reaches thirty-five grams. The plant is resistant to pests, sudden changes in temperature, and some diseases.

Varieties with small berries

Small-fruited varieties of remontant strawberries are, first of all, Ali Baba, Lesnaya Skazka, Alexandri, etc. Their fruits have an unusual aftertaste and aroma, like those of strawberries.

For example, a separate berry of the Forest Tale has a weight of five to seven grams and is characterized by a mild, sweet and sour taste.

The weight of each Alexandri fruit can reach eight grams, while the variety is distinguished by its external elegance and unpretentiousness in cultivation.

The weight of Baron Solemacher's berries, which have a rich-sweet taste, barely reaches four grams, but despite this, the fruit yield is good, and the variety's resistance to many diseases is simply amazing.

As you can see, strawberries are often classified according to the size of their fruit. However, there are other signs by which you can classify the varieties of seedlings. One of these criteria for classification is the “zone of optimal growth”.

Delicious fruits for the Moscow region

Of course, not all strawberry varieties will bear fruit equally in the south of Russia and in the north. Therefore, before planting a plant in your garden plot, you should carefully read the recommendations for growing it.

Naturally, the best varieties of remontant strawberries for the Moscow region are Elizabeth II and Santa Andrea. And yet there are other varieties of fragrant berries that can be successfully grown in your country house near the capital.

First of all, this is Alba, characterized by early ripening and a bountiful harvest: a little more than a kilogram of sweet and sour berries can be harvested from one bush. Quite large fruits, weighing 25-30 grams, are characterized by a rich and fresh aroma. The variety is distinguished by excellent resistance to frost, rotting and bacteria.

Kimberly has a similar characteristic - one of the best varieties of remontant strawberries for the Moscow region. From one bush, you can collect at least two kilograms of berries, which differ from others in their unusual caramel aroma and excellent taste.

Among other high-yielding and unpretentious crops in care, one can single out Honey, Clery and others.

Delicious fruits for Siberia

Repaired strawberries for Siberia should be distinguished by high frost resistance and a certain unpretentiousness in care. Such qualities are possessed by such varieties as Lord, Festivalny and others.

The lord is quite resistant to freezing, has large fruits (the weight of the berries varies between sixty and one hundred grams) and high yields (one kilogram of fruit can be harvested from one bush). Strawberries are very fond of sunlight and root moisture.

The Festivalny variety tolerates very low temperatures and is capable of bearing fruit even in light frosts. Its fruits are relatively large, have a pronounced sweetness and unique aroma. It is rarely exposed to diseases and pests.

Other Siberian varieties of remontant strawberries include: Marshal, Vita Zanta, Gigantella Maxima and others.

Which variety should you prefer?

As you can see, remontant strawberries are a widespread and highly productive type of garden strawberries that will help you pamper yourself and your loved ones with tasty and juicy fruits throughout the year. The cultivation of such an unpretentious culture, characterized by abundant harvests and rich taste properties, does not require special knowledge and even a beginner can do it.

There are many varieties of remontant strawberries, differing in taste, aroma, yield, ripening conditions and resistance to external manifestations. Do not doubt that among so many varieties you will definitely find the only one that is well suited to the climatic conditions of your area and meets all your needs and preferences.

Increasingly, gardeners, whether they are summer residents or owners of large agricultural land, choose remontant varieties of strawberries for greenhouses. Such strawberries can bear fruit more than once a season, but several times. In favorable conditions, you can get the harvest all year round.

There are about 250 varieties of greenhouse strawberries, varying in maturity, fruit size and care requirements. Among such a variety, every gardener will be able to choose a crop suitable for growing in the conditions of his personal plot.

Indoor conditions make it possible to create an ideal microclimate for a plant, independent of weather conditions and geographic location, which will undoubtedly affect the yield and fruiting period. That is why many people grow strawberries in greenhouses and greenhouses.

Growing technologies

There are 2 main technologies for cultivating strawberries in greenhouses:

• Russian;
• Dutch.

According to the first, the greenhouse area is divided into 1m wide beds. Plants are planted at a distance of 30 cm from each other, either in rows or staggered.

The Dutch grow strawberries in tiers in pots. This method significantly saves space.
Russian gardeners often use large-capacity plastic bags instead of pots. Earth is poured into them, and small holes are made into which strawberry rosettes are planted. These bags can be positioned both horizontally and vertically.

Care features

There is an opinion that remontant strawberries need to be transplanted more often, and this is true. Ordinary garden strawberries (another name for strawberries) can grow and bear fruit in one place for up to 10 years, remontants should be transplanted every 2 years, or even more often.

The ideal conditions for obtaining the largest possible yield are the following parameters:

1. The air temperature in the greenhouse should be 10-25 degrees. Moreover, in different periods of the growing season, the temperature regime is different.
2. Humidity for successful development and fruiting should be at the level of 70-80%.
3. Timely application of mineral and organic fertilizers will help to increase the yield several times.
4. We should not forget about pollination: either open the greenhouses for insects, such as bees, to access them, or choose self-pollinating varieties of remontant strawberries.

Important: if strawberry bushes form too many whiskers and bloom little, then there is an excess of nitrogen in the soil. To eliminate this, it is necessary to stop applying nitrogen fertilizers, in particular ash.

The best varieties for greenhouses

Gigantella

Even a person who is far from gardening knows the name of this variety. And for good reason: Gigantella is a very large-fruited variety of remontant strawberries, the diameter of the berries can reach 9 cm, and the weight is up to 100 g. It fully justifies its name and has been in constant demand for many years.

Interestingly, the size of the berries directly depends on the regularity of watering. Strawberries should not be poured with cold water; their temperature should be equal to or higher than atmospheric.

Festival

The variety is deservedly popular with domestic gardeners. Bred by Soviet breeders at the Petropavlovsk Experimental Station.

The bush grows compact, which saves space in the greenhouse and plant more plants in a smaller area. The berries have a sweet and sour taste, the yield is high, the fruits are large (up to 40 g), oval in shape with a pointed tip. It can withstand short-term frosts, which is important for Russian conditions.

Marshal

An ancient American variety, bred back in 1890, got its name from its creator, Marshal Ewell. Differs in increased productivity, resistance to frost and most diseases.

The highest yield is observed in the first year of cultivation, so there is no better remontant strawberry variety for industrial greenhouses than Marshal.

The bush is large, the same can be said about the berries. Fruits of the Marshal variety can reach a weight of 70 g, up to 1.5 kg can be obtained from one plant.

How to improve yields?

We are constantly receiving letters in which amateur gardeners are worried that due to the cold summer this year there is a poor harvest of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Last year we published TIPS on this matter. But unfortunately, many did not listen, but some still applied. Here is a report from our reader, we want to advise plant growth biostimulants that will help increase the yield up to 50-70%.

We advise you to prepare in advance for the summer season, pay attention to this biological product. There are a lot of positive responses.

Growing a plant

Seedlings of remontant strawberries are usually planted in the soil on which the vegetable crop previously grew. The moisture content of the earth should correspond to 70-80%. To achieve this, it is necessary to pour 750 ml of water into 1 kg of dry substrate, after which everything should be mixed thoroughly, being careful not to form lumps.

Seedlings are planted in a tray of solid material, the diameter of which should be about 10-15 cm. This container must be filled with prepared soil. Leave about 3 cm of free space on top. Then you need to scatter the strawberry seeds and sprinkle a little with dry earth. After that, saturate the soil with a spray bottle.

To cultivate a variety of mustache-free remontant strawberries, you must adhere to certain rules. In natural conditions, seeds must be in the sun to grow. If they are open, then many processes appear. This applies not only to remontant varieties of culture, but also to ordinary ones.

When the strawberry seeds are planted, you can cover the tray with plastic transparent wrap and then put it in a warm place. After three weeks, the first shoots will be shown in it, which need to be watered from time to time.

Planting seedlings in open ground

The area for further growing of strawberry bushes should be sheltered from the winds and sufficiently illuminated.

The best remontant strawberries should be planted in early May. Previously, the beds should be free of weeds. You also need to loosen the soil and add compost. The most favorable lands for planting crops are fertile medium loamy, which in their structure is more close to neutral.

On the prepared bed, you need to dig a depression and pour water over it. Seedlings of remontant strawberries are carefully taken out of the vessel where they grew, and planted with a piece of earth into this hole. Before planting, the root system can be covered with Kornevin. Then it is required to compact the soil around each young plant planted.

Landing principles

There are some simple planting rules for growing crops effectively.

1. The best remontant strawberries should be planted in May.
2. The bed must be completely weed-free.
3. About a month before planting seedlings, fertilizer or manure must be applied to the soil at the rate of 5 kg / square meter.
4. Before planting seedlings, the soil is fertilized with ammonium nitrate, superphosphate and potassium salt.
5. It is not worth planting seedlings too deeply.
6. The gaps between the plants should be about 70 cm, and between the rows - 40 cm.
7. Garden strawberries are planted only on a cool day, preferably in rainy weather.
8. Watering the hole is carried out with a small volume of water.
9. The use of growth solutions for the root system of the culture is recommended.
10. After planting the plant, the soil must be compacted to the maximum so that no voids remain.

Whichever method is chosen to get an excellent harvest, all agricultural conditions should be adhered to. Just remontant varieties, due to the specifics of their physiology, are considered the most whimsical in the care and seating requirements. In one locality, the culture can grow for about 2-3 seasons, and with appropriate care - 5-7 years.

Fast ripening times, high yield, sweet taste, extraordinary aroma, many vitamins - this is what remontant strawberries can boast of. There are very different reviews about her.
