Do not be afraid to experiment with varieties, and you will definitely choose the one that suits your summer cottage or garden plot best of all.

It is impossible to choose the best strawberry variety according to the description. It is possible to evaluate and select varieties of any crop only if they are grown independently in the country. The description of the variety only helps to determine those characteristics that are most important for growing.

Clone selection

Strawberries, in comparison with fruit trees and ornamental shrubs, are much cheaper. Therefore, you do not need to buy many mustaches of the same variety, but purchase 3-5 plants of different varieties, the more there are, the better, but not less than 5 varieties. In the first year, you can evaluate the yield and quality of strawberries (of course, with proper agricultural technology), select the best 2-3 varieties and the best bushes within varieties and breed them on plantations. This method is called clone selection and prevents the degeneration of the variety.

Domestic varieties of strawberries are more resistant to diseases and pests precisely because clonal selection prevailed in Soviet agronomic science. In the West, varietal material was purified from viruses and diseases in laboratories; in the USSR, the best plants were selected in natural conditions. Therefore, after 2-3 years, many European varieties significantly lose their varietal qualities, diseases return to them quite easily, they need constant chemical treatments.

Domestic varieties are obtained from strawberry bushes with the highest immunity, which was manifested under normal growing conditions in the field. They retain their best varietal qualities for a long time.

Comparative characteristics of domestic and foreign varieties

To decide which varieties to plant on your plot - domestic or European - you need to carefully study their main characteristics.

1. Frost resistance. The best domestic strawberry varieties can withstand frosts down to -10 ° C without a snow cover, and under the snow they endure very harsh winters. European varieties can freeze severely in any winter.
2. Winter hardiness. The ability to withstand not only frosts, but also winter thaws, without freezing, is much higher in domestic varieties.
3. Taste. European varieties are sweeter.

Foreign strawberries yield good harvests in our country, but they are too tender for the Russian climate. Although it does not freeze completely, in the spring there are quite a few attacks on the plantation of the "Europeans".

Adult plants are more susceptible to freezing at unstable winter temperatures than young whiskers.In bushes that have yielded more than 2 harvests, the horns are significantly raised above the ground and for better wintering such plants are spud if there is no other covering material. But here, too, there are advantages: in a sparse planting, the yield is higher.

The best tastes are imported Pandora, Bounty and domestic Kokinskaya Zarya, Tsaritsa.

The best varieties in terms of yield are Kokinskaya Zarya, Mommy, Divnaya. But choosing according to yield is wrong. There are no low-yielding varieties in the modern assortment of strawberries.

Currently, breeders have developed many non-killing varieties that are resistant to a complex of damaging factors. These include: Kokinskaya Zarya, Mommy, Tsarina, Slavutich, Solovushka, Alpha, Izaura, Bereginya.
