Review overview
According to gardeners, Jenny's strawberries fully justify their hopes. The variety shows abundant fruiting, the berries are beautiful, very well stored and transportable. Gardeners note the unpretentiousness of the plant, while it is thermophilic, it needs to create favorable conditions. Many people prefer to grow this variety in greenhouses or at home, avoiding excessive hypothermia of the plants.
The duration of the harvest is especially noted. But in this regard, as gardeners mention, there is a need for additional feeding, otherwise the bush will quickly deplete its strength, the berries will become smaller. But plants of this species bear fruit even on the mustache, which significantly increases the yield. Gardeners note that it is not yet possible to say how often the plantation will need to be renewed - at 2 and 3 years, the intensity of berry formation does not decrease, but the variety is new, has not been studied enough in Russian conditions.
