Description

Strawberry Plant

Strawberry (Fragaria) that is widely grown. It is cultivated worldwide for its fruit. The fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness.

Sweet Charlie strawberry plants like full sun and needs moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Additionally, if rainfall is not adequate, supplemental watering will be required for plant health and strawberry production.

Strawberry cultivars vary widely in size, color, flavor, shape, degree of fertility, the season of ripening, liability to disease and constitution of plant. Some vary in foliage, and some vary materially in the relative development of their sexual organs. In most cases, the flowers appear hermaphroditic in structure, but function as either male or female. For purposes of commercial production, plants are propagated from runners and, in general, distributed as either bare root plants or plugs.

Planting and care

 

  • Sweet Charlie is a vigorous produce and a great choice for the home garden.They are firm, can tolerate gentle shipping over short distances, and have deep red mature strawberries.
  • The plants have leaves that are medium to dark green, slightly cupped, and semi-glossy.
  • In the first year, discourage plants from fruiting. If not allowed to bear fruit, they will spend their food reserves on developing healthy roots.
  • The yields will be much greater in the second year.First and second generations produce higher yields. Try to space each plant about 10 inches apart.Moisture is very important due to shallow roots. Water adequately, about one inch per week.
  • They need a lot of water when the runners and flowers are developing and again in the fall when the plants are mature.When the growing season is over, mow or cut the foliage down to one inch and mulch plants about 4 inches deep with straw, pine needles or other organic material.
  • Remove mulch in early spring, after danger of frost has passed.Row covers are a good option for protecting blossoms and fruit from birds.

    Sweet Charlie strawberry plants have an atypical ripening profile that can be quite variable. Generally the variety has two weeks of early production that produces very good, high-quality strawberries. However, after the initial two weeks, size tends to drop off drastically in the early midseason.
