Everbearing strawberry varieties that bear fruit until autumn

Strawberry

Everbearing strawberries bloom and bear fruit several times during the season. Choosing the right variety isn't difficult. It's important to evaluate the strawberry's frost and drought tolerance, resistance to diseases and pests, and the size and flavor of the berries. The yield of any variety depends on farming practices and soil fertility.

Features of everbearing strawberries

Everbearing strawberry varieties produce multiple harvests per season. The first wave of fruiting occurs in June-July, the second in August, and the third in autumn. The second wave produces the most abundant harvest, accounting for 60-80% of the total.

Advice!

All flower stalks on the mother bushes need to be cut off, then they will put all their energy into forming rosettes.

Everbearing strawberries have a faster life cycle. After 2-3 years, the berries become smaller. This is a result of continuous fruiting. This disadvantage can be compensated for by following simple rules:

in the period from July to September, a ridge is formed for the next season, and shoots or seedlings grown from seeds are planted on it;
All flowers are removed from young rooted bushes, this guarantees a good harvest next year;
for the winter, the bed is mulched; in regions where there is little snow, the strawberries are covered with several layers of covering material;
Bushes that have borne fruit for 2 years are uprooted.

Everbearing strawberries respond well to phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen fertilizers applied before planting. They are demanding of soil fertility. To promote normal root development, the garden bed is mulched or loosened after watering (rain) in the summer. They require 10-15 applications per season, using the following fertilizers:

Kemira-Lux;
Crystallin;
Solution.
