Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your eversweet strawberry plants is straightforward, leading to a rewarding harvest. Upon arrival, soak the bare roots in water for 20-30 minutes before planting. Choose a site with full sun, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, to ensure optimal fruit production. Good drainage is crucial; amend heavy soils with compost or organic matter to improve aeration. Plant the strawberries with their crowns (the part where the leaves emerge) at soil level, making sure not to bury them too deep or leave roots exposed. Space individual plants 12-18 inches apart in rows, allowing ample room for growth and runner development.

Consistent moisture is key, especially during flowering and fruiting periods. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. During the first growing season, it’s beneficial to remove any flowers that appear; this encourages the plant to put its energy into developing a strong root system, leading to better yields in subsequent years. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again after the main harvest. Protect plants from pests and diseases with organic solutions if needed. For winter, especially in colder zones, a layer of straw mulch can provide insulation and protect the crowns. By following these tips, you’ll be on your way to enjoying a substantial yield of sweet firm berries.

Size & Details

This offering includes 50 Eversweet Everbearing Strawberry Plants, delivered as robust bare root specimens ready for immediate planting. Bare root plants are an economical and effective way to start a large strawberry patch, as they establish quickly once planted in the ground. Each plant, once mature, typically forms a mound of foliage about 6-10 inches tall and spreads 12-18 inches wide, with runners extending to produce new plants. The everbearing characteristic means these plants will produce fruit in cycles throughout the growing season, rather than a single large flush. Expect initial fruiting in the second year, with full production in subsequent years, providing a continuous supply of high yield strawberries. These plants are grown for their exceptional fruit quality and prolific nature, ensuring a delightful harvest for many seasons to come.
