Plant Description
Strawberries are low-growing fruits that spread by above-ground stolons. They are self-pollinating and require 100-300 chilling hours to set fruit. Short-day varieties (June-bearing) produce fruit in the spring, while day-neutral varieties produce continuously during the growing season.
Cultural Tips
Cultural practices such as site selection, soil preparation, planting, pruning, and watering are important for plant health, pest management and pest reduction when growing strawberry.
