Among the late varieties, Borovitskaya strawberry is one of the most popular. Its berries have that very scent of childhood.

To achieve a good harvest, nothing special is required from the gardener. The main thing is to irrigate, mulch the soil on time, make the necessary fertilizing, and remove weeds.

Breeding history of the variety

The All-Russian Institute of Selection and Technology of Horticulture and Nursery was engaged in breeding the variety. It was decided to choose the varieties Nadezhda and Redgontlet as varieties for crossing.

Description of the variety

The card for the described strawberry variety indicates that it belongs to the universal. Despite the fact that the bushes produce a lot of berries, they are poorly transported.

The bushes grow up to 30 cm in height. The foliage is erect, there is always a lot of it. Leaves with wrinkles, dark green shade. On the bushes, rosettes are formed in large numbers.

The inflorescences are clearly visible, since they are always located above the foliage, large, the level of the set is high. A small fluff forms on the peduncles, they themselves are long.

Due to the fact that the ripening of Borovitskaya belongs to the middle period, the fruiting period can be increased naturally. Even if flowers appeared on the bushes early, but later a slight frost hit, it will not harm them in any way and will not affect the amount of the crop.

The berries ripen at the same time. Borovitskaya is resistant to most pests that infect other varieties of strawberries, which is why it is so popular. Such immunity was bred in the culture by specially breeders.

However, the variety also has negative qualities that cannot be ignored. For example, you cannot grow berries on an industrial scale. These are strawberries for personal consumption.

Despite the fact that the variety is highly resistant to many diseases, root rot affects it most often. In this case, there is a high probability that the entire crop may die. This happens when the gardener does not monitor the moisture level, watering the plant too often.

Moreover, when the berry ripens well, it cannot lie for a long time and is completely unsuitable for transportation.

Unripe fruits have an unpleasant and even bitter taste. Therefore, in order to enjoy them, you will have to wait for full ripening.

Ripening terms

Among the many varieties on the seed market, this one ripens later than others, although it is considered mid-season. In Moscow and the region, this strawberry ripens only by the end of June. But in the Caucasus, fruits can be harvested earlier.

Growing regions

If you familiarize yourself with the recommendations of breeders in more detail, then the described strawberry variety is advised to grow in the Far East. However, it has proven itself well in the south of the country.

Yield

The yield is high. With proper care, you can collect up to 500 grams of ripe fruits from a bush.

Berries and their taste

Unripe fruits have a brick-colored color. When they reach ripeness, their hue changes to cherry. The fruits are formed with a regular shape, which can be described as obtuse-conical, slightly rounded.

The berries are large, the weight of each can vary from 15 to 20 grams.

Only this variety has a special sourness. But the taste can be described as rather sweet, multifaceted. Fruit and berry aftertaste. If we talk about the tasting assessment, then on a five-point scale this is a solid 4.

The pulp of the variety is juicy, dense.

Berries can be eaten raw and also used in cooking. They make a wonderful jam.

Growing features

Despite the fact that strawberries can withstand a long period of drought, there are special requirements for watering them.

When forming bushes, a lot of whiskers are always formed. The variety also differs in self-fertility.

It is worth planting Borovitskaya in mid-summer or autumn. This is usually the end of July or the beginning of August. But you need to understand that the bushes will give fruit only after a year. The timing of planting is important if you want to get a quick harvest.

Medium to light soil is ideal for planting.

It is best to follow a specific planting pattern. The distance between the bushes is 20 cm. Between the rows, be sure to keep an empty space of at least 70 cm. The care process facilitates planting in two lines.

When and how to plant strawberries so that they bring a rich harvest is a question that novice gardeners often ask themselves. The berries can be planted in the ground in spring, summer and autumn. Each season has its own characteristics of planting.
Strawberries are the most beloved and popular berry in our gardens. Even in the smallest plots, there will always be a place for it, since every year there are more and more unexpected and original solutions for its cultivation. Strawberries are grown in the form of a carpet, rows, nests, in addition to many different original options. Everyone chooses their own way depending on the area of ​​the site and its design.
Watering strawberries, like any other garden crop, should be in compliance with all the necessary recommendations. During the fruiting period, including the ripening of the fruits, the amount of moisture should be sufficient for the harvest to be a decent amount, and the berries are tasty and aromatic. If you neglect watering, or water little and not enough, then the strawberries can dry out. With excessive moisture, the berries can rot.
Speaking about pruning strawberries, most often it is the removal of leaves on fertile bushes that is meant. This is done to partially rejuvenate the plant, to get rid of damaged, diseased leaves, to prevent bacterial and fungal infections, to reduce the number of harmful insects.

Site selection and soil preparation

The plant will grow quickly if the gardener takes enough time to properly form the holes. Be sure to use humus and other top dressing. A good effect can be achieved if fertilizers are mixed with soil.

Already in May, when the soil has warmed up enough, the root system of the described strawberry must be covered with mulch. Straw is the best option because it retains heat well.

The soil for strawberries should be saturated with organic matter. The plant grows best on light loamy or sandy loam soil. Black soil and gray forest soil are also excellent for cultivation. It is undesirable to plant strawberries on clay soil.

Pollination

The flowers are bisexual. This is why pollination is not required.

Top dressing

It is not so much the use of feeding that is important, but the correct choice of it. Any strawberry needs nutrition at different stages of the growing season. This is spring, when foliage is just beginning to form, and the period of ovary formation.

For the entire time, it is required to apply fertilizers at least 3 times. Ammonia-type top dressing is applied to the soil in early spring. When ovaries are formed, they use not nitrogen and various kinds of compounds with it, but mineral complexes.

One of the important techniques in strawberry care is feeding. Regular fertilization guarantees a rich harvest.There are several different ways to feed strawberries, and each of them is designed for a specific period of plant development. During flowering, fruiting and after it, feeding should be different.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

Despite the fact that the plant has good frost resistance, it needs shelter when it comes to the northern planting region. In the south, the bushes cope with a little frost, but mulch can be used. For early ripening, black agromaterial is placed between the rows.

In cold winters with a large drop in temperature, spruce branches can be used as a shelter.

In order for strawberries to delight us with an abundance of large and sweet berries next year, they need to be properly prepared for winter. The set of measures for preparing strawberries for the cold includes: pruning, watering, feeding, loosening, pest control, mulching and shelter.

Diseases and pests

Borovitskaya has good immunity to all sorts of pests and diseases. Despite this, preventive treatment is indispensable. Both folk methods are perfect, namely: infusion of garlic, copper sulfate and other means, as well as specialized preparations - fungicides. It is good to use an infusion of wood ash for spraying.

Strawberries are often subject to many dangerous diseases that can seriously undermine its condition. Among the most common are powdery mildew, gray mold, brown spot, anthracnose, and verticillosis. Before buying a variety, you need to inquire about its disease resistance.

Reproduction

A large number of mustaches are always formed on the bushes, which can be used to increase the planting area. If the gardener wants to purposefully propagate the variety, then all flower stalks are removed.

Strawberries or garden strawberries multiply very easily. The most common way to obtain planting material is to grow young plants from vegetative shoots - whiskers. Seedlings are also obtained by dividing the bush.
