Older traditional varieties RED GAUNTLET Red Gauntlet is a bright red fruit, resistant to red core. Red Gauntlet is popular market variety, becoming outclassed. CAMBRIDGE VIGOUR Cambridge Vigour is earlier than Favourite; was popular as first of the season, and has become outclassed. Cambridge Vigour produces good size fruit on maiden plants. CAMBRIDGE FAVOURITE Cambridge Favourite was a popular first class cropper; fruit travels fairly well and is fairly resistant to Mildew and Botrytis. Cambridge favourite is becoming outclassed. HONEOYE Honeoye is 4-6 days before Elsanta. Honeoye is orange/red fruit and is susceptible to Verticilium Wilt. HAPIL Hapil is large, bright glossy fruit. Yield is high.

Vigorous plants. Hapil is a P.Y.O favourite, but is susceptible to Verticilium Wilt. Other strawberries ELSANTA Elsanta is the most popular strawberry, a prime variety for the supermarkets. Elsanta has a high yield, good flavour, medium to large firm orange fruit with good self life. Elsanta is susceptible to Verticilium Wilt and mildew. EROS Eros was released in 1994, bred at HRI. Eros has an attractive regular conical mid red fruit, with a firm skin and flesh. Its firmness is similar to Elsanta. Eros produces more large fruit and maintains size better. Also resistant to two common races of Red Core. Eros is moderately susceptible to Powdery Mildew and Wilt. ROSIE We are the only propagator of Rosie. Early June-bearer Strawberry. Rosie fruits regular conical shape with firm skin and good flavour, glossy finish, darker than Elsanta. Yields similar to Honeoye but less waste. Rosie is suitable for all types of retail outlets.

Plants are susceptible to Powdery Mildew, Wilt and Crown Rot, so a spray programme similar to that used for Elsanta is recommended. Rosie is moderately vigorous with good runner production. PEGASUS Pegasus has a high yield of bright glossy fruit. Pegasus is resistant to Verticilium Wilt, used as a P.Y.O variety. RHAPSODY Rhapsody is a late variety that is resistant to Red Core. Rhapsody is moderately resistant to Wilt. It doesn’t suffer from Mildew. Rhapsody has large to medium fruit which are glossy red. SOPHIE Sophie is late season 2 weeks after Elsanta. Its fruit has conical shape and is dark red in colour. Sophie is moderately firm medium size (25-36 mm). It plants vigorous, fruit well displayed on long stems. Sophie is susceptible to Powdery Mildew and other common soil borne diseases, so a spray programme similar to Elsanta is needed. FLORENCE Florence is late season -10 days after Elsanta, between Pegasus and Rhapsody. Florence’s fruit is regular conical shape with a firm skin and flesh.

Full red colour with a matt finish. Its yield is between Bogota and Elsanta. Florence average fruit size is large and less wastage. The plants moderately vigorous. Florence erects habit with well displayed fruit. Resistant to Powdery Mildew and other fungal diseases. ALICE Alice’s fruit as an attractive, glossy finish is bright orange/red in colour. Alice is 7 days later than Elsanta, and resistant to Verticilium Wilt and Crown Rot. Alice is less susceptible to Powdery Mildew than Elsanta. CALYPSO How to grow strawberries / RHS Gardening Recipes Grow Water frequently while new plants are establishing. Also water during dry periods in the growing season. Water from the bottom as water from overhead can rot the crown and fruit. During the growing season, give strawberry plants a liquid potash feed – such as a tomato feed – every 7 to 14 days. In early spring, apply general fertiliser such as Growmore at a rate of 50g per sq m (2oz per sq yd).

In a heated greenhouse or conservatory, it is possible to bring forward flowering by several weeks, so long as the temperature does not go above 16°C (61°F), because this will inhibit flowering. You will also need to hand pollinate the flowers. As fruits start to develop, tuck straw underneath them to prevent the strawberries from rotting on the soil. Otherwise use individual fibre mats if these are not already in position. The straw or matting will also help to suppress weeds. Weeds that do emerge should be pulled out by hand. After cropping has finished, remove the old leaves from summer-fruiting strawberries with secateurs or hand shears. Also remove the straw mulch, fibre mat, or black polythene, to prevent a build-up of pests and diseases. Expect strawberry plants to crop successfully for three years before replacing them. Crop rotation is recommended to minimise the risk of an attack by pests and diseases in the soil. Plant Strawberries are so versatile – they just need sun, shelter, and fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid areas prone to frost and soils that have previously grown potatoes, chrysanthemums, or tomatoes because they are all prone to the disease verticillium wilt.

Buy plants from a trustworthy supplier so that the cultivars are what they say they are and the plants are disease free. Order plants in late summer so that they can be planted in early autumn. Strawberry plants bought as cold-stored runners should be planted from late spring to early summer and will fruit 60 days after planting. Runners look like little pieces of roots with very few leaves. Don’t be alarmed, this is how they should look. You can buy runners from late summer to early spring, and they should be planted in early autumn, or early spring (avoid planting in winter when the ground is wet and cold). You sometimes also see strawberries for sale in pots (normally from late spring onwards) and these can be planted as soon as you buy them. Strawberries are traditionally grown in rows directly into the garden soil – often referred to as the strawberry patch. Avoid windy sites which will prevent pollinating insects from reaching the flowers. In poor soils grow in raised beds, which improves drainage and increases rooting depth. Alternatively, try containers or growing-bags. Strawberry plants can be grown under a tunnel cloche to produce an earlier crop by up to seven to 10 days.

Place the cloche over the plants in early spring, but remove or roll up the sides when the plants are flowering to give pollinating insects access. Strawberries in containers can also be grown in an unheated greenhouse, which encourages an even earlier crop, by 10–14 days. In a heated greenhouse or conservatory, it is possible to bring forward flowering by several weeks, so long as the temperature does not go above 16°C (61°F), because this will inhibit flowering. You will also need to hand pollinate the flowers. Strawberry types Summer-fruiting varieties are the largest and most popular. They have a short but heavy cropping period over two or three weeks. There are early, mid-, and late fruiting cultivars cropping from early to mid-summer. Perpetual strawberries – sometimes called everbearers – produce small flushes of fruits from early summer to early autumn. The crops are not so heavy as the summer-fruiting ones and the fruits are smaller, with the plants less likely to produce runners. Perpetual strawberries are useful for extending the season. To concentrate strawberry production in late summer and early autumn, remove the early summer flowers.

Measure out planting holes 35cm (14in) apart. Dig out a hole large enough to accommodate the roots. Trim the roots lightly to 10cm (4in) if necessary, then spread them out in the hole. Ensure that the base of the crown rests lightly on the surface. Planting at the correct depth is important: if the crown is planted too deeply it will rot; if it is planted too shallowly the plants will dry out and die. If planting another row, place it 75cm (30in) away. A fibre mat can then be placed around each plant, or you can plant through black polythene. Water the plants well. Once the plant is at the correct depth, backfill the soil, keeping it off the crown and firming it around the plant using finger tips. If planting another row, place it 75cm (30in) away. Water the plants well. A fibre mat can then be placed around each plant, or you can plant through black polythene. Common problems Birds: Birds, especially pigeons, can cause an array of problems including eating seedlings, buds, leaves, fruit and vegetables.

Remedy: Protect the plants from birds by covering them with netting or fleece. Scarecrows and bird-scaring mechanisms work for a while, but the most reliable method of protection is to cover plants with horticultural fleece or mesh. More info on Birds Powdery Mildew: Appears as a white powdery deposit over the leaf surface and leaves become stunted and shrivel. Remedy: Keep the soil moist, grow in cool locations, and spray using plant and fish oils or sulphur-based controls. More info on Powdery Mildew Grey mould: Can be a problem in densely sown crops, especially ‘cut and come again’ veg crops. Seedlings suddenly collapse. This is a problem normally in wet conditions, and is usually worse on weak or damaged plants. The mould usually enters through a wound but, under the right conditions, even healthy plants will be infected. You will see fuzzy grey mould on affected buds, leaves, flowers or fruit. Infected plant parts eventually shrivel and die. Remedy: Sow thinly and when conditions are warm. Hygiene is very important in preventing the spread of grey mould. If you see it, remove the infected material and destroy.

Grey mould is encouraged by overcrowding, so make sure you plant your seedlings, plants and squashes at the appropriate distance apart. No fungicides are approved for use by amateur gardeners against grey mould. Products containing plant and fish oil blends may be used but are unlikely to have much impact. Fungal leaf spot: Irregular purple/brown spots surrounded by a yellow ring- the spotting spreads throughout the foliage especially in warm, humid conditions. The plant weaken when the infection is severe. Remedy: Remove affected leaves and ventilate covered crops. Vine weevil: Adult vine weevils eat notches in the edges of leaves, while plump, creamy white larvae with brown heads cause more damage to the roots, on which they feed. This can kill the plants. Remedy: Apply chemical control acetamiprid (Scotts Bug Clear Ultra Vine Weevil Killer) or thiacloprid (Provado Vine Weevil Killer 2) as a liquid drench applied to the compost or the biological control, nematode Steinernema kraussei.

More info on Vine weevil Harvesting Pick strawberries when they are bright red all over, ideally during the warmest part of the day because this is when they are at their most tasty. Eat them as soon as possible; they do not keep well, but some can be frozen or made into preserves. Recipes Nigel Slater’s soft set Strawberry jam is easy to make and tastes of summer.

Guide to Growing Strawberries | Planting and Growing Fruit | HGTV Guide to Growing Strawberries Berries Fruit Plants Planting and Maintenance Strawberries Traditional Strawberries are Summer Fruiting June bearing strawberries produce their crop over three weeks from late spring to early summer. Ever bearing strawberries produce a heavy set of berries in early summer followed by several more lighter flushes in late summer and fall.

©2011, Dorling Kindersley Limited 2011, Dorling Kindersley Limited Every garden has room for strawberry plants, which give sweet, succulent fruit when planted in pots, baskets and growing bags, as well as in traditional beds. Choose the right varieties, and enjoy them from spring to fall. How to Grow Strawberries need full sun to ripen completely, and prefer free-draining, fertile, acidic (pH 6.0–6.5) soil. They also grow well in raised beds and especially in containers and baskets, which suit their trailing style. Plant in the spring or summer, depending on type, 18 inches (45 cm) apart in rows spaced at 30 inches (75 cm). To avoid soil-borne diseases, don’t plant in beds recently used for tomatoes, potatoes or chrysanthemums. After cropping, cut back old leaves to expose the crown to sunlight. This will encourage better fruiting the following year. Replace plants grown in the soil every two years and those in containers annually. Types of Strawberries Traditional strawberries are either “summer-fruiting,” which are the tastiest, or “everbearing,” which crop over a longer period.

Alpine strawberries crop for only one season. Although their fruits are small, they are deliciously sweet and flavorful. Varieties to Try Summer-fruiting strawberries crop from early to midsummer. Everbearing types fruit in early then late summer and into midautumn. Replace plants annually. Alpine varieties fruit freely throughout summer. Summer-fruiting: Varieties include 'Alice’ (early), ‘Cambridge Favourite’ (mid), ‘Elsanta’ (mid), ‘Honeoye’ (early), ‘Pegasus’ (mid) and ‘Symphony’ (late). Everbearing types: Varieties include ’Albion’, ‘Aromel’, ‘Flamenco’, ‘Mara des Bois’ and ‘Muricata’. Alpine strawberries: Varieties include ’Alexandria’, ‘Baron Solemacher’, ‘Mignonette’ and ‘Rugen’. Containers Strawberries can be grown in almost any type of container with adequate drainage holes, including hanging baskets, stackable towers, traditional strawberry planters and growing bags. All will need watering at least once a day during the growing season and should be fed weekly with a high-potash tomato fertilizer.

Turn containers often to avoid leaving some fruit in the shade. Keep the Fruit Clean Strawberries grow on the ground, and to keep them clean, they are best lifted off the soil. Straw mulch is commonly used; barley straw is considered the best since it is softer. Fiber mats wrapped around each plant are also popular and easy to use. You can also plant through black plastic stretched over a slightly raised bed. As well as keeping fruit clean, this warms the soil, retains moisture and suppresses weeds. Forcing Strawberries Strawberries can be encouraged to crop at least one or two weeks early by placing a cloche over them in spring. Container-grown plants can also be moved into an unheated greenhouse in spring to fruit earlier. In fall, move everbearing varieties under cover to prolong their fruiting season. Make sure plants are placed in the sun to help ripen the fruit. Watch Out for These Pests and Diseases Botrytis, or gray mold, enters through the flowers and remains dormant until the fruit matures. Destroy all infected plant debris. Vine weevil grubs can also be a problem, destroying the roots, particularly on container-grown plants.

Adults chew notches from the leaf margins, but the white grubs cause more serious damage. Control with nematodes in late summer. Strawberry 'Pegasus' - Gardeners Kitchen, grow your own strawberries, June to July Growing Instructions Plant 30 40cm apart in well drained soil, hanging basket or pot on your patio in full sun. Keep well watered until established and in dry weather. Remove all runners as this will help the main plant grow. Tip If you plant Honeoye and Cambridge Favourite as well you will have strawberries most of the summer. Also I would cover your growing strawberries with a net as the birds will love them.

Ideal For: Despatch: By end of February 2017 £12.99 Despatch: By end of February 2017 £19.99 Reviews Plant strawberry plants in autumn or late spring in a sheltered, sunny position in well manured, free draining soil. Plant strawberry runners every 45cm (18") in rows spaced at 75cm (30") apart. Spread out their roots and place them in the soil at a level where the crown of the plant is just poking above the surface. Avoid planting them too deeply as this may cause them to rot. Alternatively try growing strawberry plants in hanging baskets or in specially designed strawberry planters for the patio. Water strawberries frequently throughout the growing season and weed regularly between rows. When growing strawberry plants in baskets and containers, they will also need feeding every two weeks. From early summer, remove any runners that are produced as these will weaken the plants vigour. Protect the developing fruit from slugs and snails by spreading straw around each plant. Positioning a net over the plants will also prevent crop damage by birds. The netting and straw can be removed after cropping to allow better air flow around the crown of the plant.

Mulch strawberry plants with well rotted manure in spring. Although strawberry plants will continue to fruit in successive years, the crop will become considerably reduced and it is advisable to completely replace strawberry plants every 3 years.

The strawberry breeding program there is by far the most successful in the world. In fact it is thought that 65% of the strawberries produced worldwide are from U.C cultivars. In California they account for 64% of the planted area and 82% of the fruit.

This alone demonstrates their yield potential. Hargreaves Plants is the only UK licensed propagator of Albion and has an extremely close working relationship with both U.C Davis and Eurosemillas, who are the managers of the intellectual property in Europe and other territories. Hargreaves identified Albion as a winner for the U.K market based on trials results three years ago from its own Research and Development unit. Here, Hargreaves Plants is providing an update on Albion in terms of yield, fruit quality, plant health and market perception. Hargreaves is confident that, when you have digested the facts and figures, you will see clearly why Albion has to play an important role in your future business.
