Strawberries
All our strawberry plants are entered for certification and are de-blossomed in early spring therefore they are not let pollinate and are only for plant production. They are grown from elite and super elite stocks of virgin soil. Two new cold store units have been installed by us, English’s Fruit Nursery for cold storing strawberry plants with up to date specialised equipment. With this we can offer strawberry plants for 60 day production and also cold stored treated plants during the lifting season.
Cold store plants must be placed early to avoid disappointment.
Planting Distances 1 – 1.5 ft
Lifting begins from September onwards. We have very strong, well established Elsanta plants which produce large glossy, firm orange red fruit, very popular for fresh fruit markets. Suitable for protected and outdoor cropping, ripening out of doors about the middle of June. Capable of high yields and crops well in its maiden year. Produces best in virgin soil and yields well when grown through black polythene which ripens them 1 week earlier.
(Available on request) A valuable variety due to its late fruiting up to the end of July. Very good resistance to Red Core. Heavy cropper.
Available on request An alternative variety to Elsanta, with good resistance to Red Core with large fruit. Good in suspect ground.
High yields of very good flavoured fruit. Very reliable old variety. High resistance to verticillium, wilt and mildew. Easy to grow. The best variety for bad conditions eg. soils, weather, delay in picking, they still hold their flavour and appearance for at least one week after ripening.
Later than Symphony. Good to extend the season. Good resistance to both Verticillium Wilt and to Crown Rot.
This is a large, vigorous plant that produces heavy crops of bright fruit. A mid-season variety.
