Strawberry

Spring 2008 shipping has ended. Now taking preorders for Fall 2008 shipping.

strawberries

Strawberries are by far the most popular, easiest to grow and most rewarding berry. In our effort to sell the most trouble-free, productive plants, we are now offering the same plants commercial growers buy. These plants will produce 3 to 4 times better than the usual backyard strawberry, yielding up to one quart per plant. For highest production and largest berries, it pays to start with the best.


Edging Groundcover or Hanging Baskets?

Lush strawberry leaves are beautiful borders for walkways or as low growing groundcovers in flower beds and shrubbery borders. Plant strawberries under apples, plums or peaches for beauty and increased production. Patio gardeners can enjoy strawberry barrels, pyramids and hanging baskets.


Strawberry Varieties (Fragaria spp.)

FESTIVAL Our strawberry for this year is called "Strawberry Festival", but I call it Festival Strawberry because that makes more sense. It was developed by the University of Florida and is a short-day strawberry well-suited for growing in our area. This is a beautiful deep red fruit with bright red interior, a firm texture and excellent flavor. $1.99 per plug.

Sorry, not available. CHANDLER Small, compact grower that produces large, commercial-sized berries. Extremely sweet and flavorful. Ripens February through July. Self-pollinating. Zones 8A-10. 4-inch plugs. $1.99 per plug.

Annualize

Strawberries in the Deep South are best treated as an annual. Plant them in the fall, enjoy your spring and summer harvest and then till them in and plant some onions or beans in their spot for the rest of the summer garden season.

Prone to disease and nematodes if left in the same area more than a season, strawberries crowd themselves out and produce smaller and smaller berries. So start clean each year with the most virus free plants you can find. The plants we offer are one generation from a tissue cultured mother plant.

Strawberries need lots of moisture when first planted. Plant in well-drained soil in part to full sun, and water regularly.
