Strawberry Fragaria 'Tristan'
Strawberry Fragaria 'Tristan'


 
Compact plants produce few to no runners which makes it more productive. Abundant flowering and high yield of fruit will come during whole summer.
1) The most common method for planting strawberries is in the matted row system. Set your new plants 18"-24" apart in rows 3" to 4" apart.
2) Allow their new runners to set in the row up to 2" wide, removing plants that stray beyond that boundary.
3) Be careful to keep the crowns just at the soil surface, do not plant too deep or they might rot or too shallow as they will heave.
4) Water well at time of planting and continue irrigation through September as drought stress will affect harvest. Fertilize if necessary.
5) Remove flowers the first two months so that plants produce more runners.

Harvest in summer.
