The delicious berry we know and love. Great for jams, pies, and other desserts. Our plants are typically second year plants and are ready to bare fruit. They are typical June baring strawberries.
Planting/Harvesting Notes
Locate an area with full sun and well draining, slightly sandy soil. Strawberries prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5.5 to 6.8. Plant the strawberries with the crown (the base of the plant where the leaves and strawberries emerge from) above the soil. Space plants 18 inches apart to allow for runners. Covering the crown can make it harder for leaves and strawberries to come out. Water 1 to 1.5 inches weekly. After one year, the plants will establish their roots in the ground and you will get more fruit.
Strawberries are perennials, so they will come back each year. Choose a suitable location long term to plant them and fertilize yearly.
