Description of the variety

A characteristic feature of Garland bushes is a spherical shape. The maximum height they can reach is 250 mm. It is worth saying that the decorative appearance of strawberries has led to the fact that they are often used in landscape design.

The foliage has a bluish green tint. The surface is slightly grooved, there are small teeth at the edges.

Regardless of daylight hours and weather conditions, the Garland is endowed with such a genetic feature as constant fruiting.

The flowers on the bushes are formed with twisted petals, white in color and a heart of yellow and pink. Peduncles are located at the same level with foliage.

Ripening terms

We are talking about an early remontant variety that starts flowering immediately after the snow has melted. In May, you can already harvest the fruits. The berry ripens until October.

Strawberry Garland can be grown in a pot or planter. She feels great on the windowsill.

Growing regions

It bears fruit perfectly in any region of our country, but the middle strip is best suited for the climate.

Productivity is at a high level. Up to a kilogram of ripe berries can be harvested from one plant per season.

The piquant taste and excellent qualities are not the only things that have made the variety so popular. The fruits have a raspberry-red hue. Each berry has an elongated conical shape.

The fruits are large, up to 30 grams. The pulp is juicy, tender, and a pleasant taste of wild strawberries remains in the mouth.

The only drawback is that it can give small fruits if the care is organized by the gardener incorrectly.

Growing features

A cache-pot is one of the options for how you can successfully grow strawberries. If the plant is in a closed ground, then the berries can be harvested from it within 10 months.

If you want to increase the yield, then the first flower stalks are removed from the bushes.

Gardeners consider the only significant drawback to be low resistance to powdery mildew.

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 of pruning strawberries, it is most often 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

When planting outdoors, it is best to choose an equal area with enough sun. A small elevation is ideal.

Garland will grow poorly on excessively moist soil.

Experienced gardeners are advised to choose medium or light soil, which has a pH of 5-6.5.

Before planting seedlings, they dig up the soil. The shovel is driven in 300 mm. Fertilization at this stage is considered mandatory.

The dug-up soil must definitely sink a little.

The optimal time for planting seedlings is spring or autumn. It is advisable to use the nesting method, in which 400 mm must be left between the plants.

If the soil has high acidity, then liming is mandatory and sand is added.

The root system of young plants takes root perfectly if a small hill is made above the hole.

Immediately after planting, the bushes will need to be watered every day for 7 days.

After heavy rains, it is imperative to loosen the beds so that the roots can receive the required amount of oxygen.

Together with weeds, you need to remove excess foliage from bushes, mustaches, as they can cause low yields.

If the gardener has chosen an autumn planting, then the beds must be insulated. Mulch, straw or even sawdust are ideal for this.

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

Pollination is not necessary, flowers are formed by both sexes.

Top dressing

The garland must be fed during the entire vegetative period. It can be either dry fertilizers or dissolved in water.

If the grower wants to maintain the normal growth of strawberries, then he is better off using herbal infusions. This is the best option, which contains a large number of trace elements.

At the moment when the plants begin to bear fruit, nitrogen is necessarily introduced into the soil. For this, both chicken droppings and manure are suitable, from which infusions are made. In the first case, the ratio is 1/12, in the second - 1/10.

Here is the fertilization chart.

  • Spring - ammonium nitrate. For 1 square 40 grams of substance.

  • Potassium sulfate is used before the flowers appear. One square is 30 grams. It is recommended to mix it with nitroammophos, while the correct ratio is ¼.When loosening, wood ash is added, it allows to reduce acidity.

  • When the ovaries have already formed, a solution of potassium permanganate is used as a foliar feeding. Two grams is enough for a 10 liter bucket of water. You can replace it with boric acid in the same proportion.

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

The variety is winter hardy, can withstand up to -20 degrees Celsius. But young bushes planted in autumn are best covered.

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

Gray rot is the gardener's main enemy. To prevent massive fungal infection, it is better to use "Topaz". 10 ml of water will require 10 ml. More detailed instructions are available on the packaging.

As for insects, the strawberry mite is the most problematic. In just one fruiting period, up to 15 generations can change, so processing is carried out every week. Ideal for this are:

  • BI-58;

  • "Neuron";

  • Actellik.

To achieve the proper result, it is necessary to process the bushes at least 3 times.

An even greater danger to the plant is the nematode. If she appeared in the beds, then the funds from her cannot be found. The only way to fight is to completely remove the bushes with roots.

It is difficult to cure the infected soil, the larvae live in it for up to 4 years. You can treat the soil with a 4% formalin solution before planting, or use bleach.

Sprayed several times, the interval between treatments is 3 days.

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

There are three ways to breed the variety: by dividing the bush, by seeds or by a mustache.

Antennae are suitable for seedlings. Where the root collar is at least 6 mm, while the roots must be at least 70 mm.

If it is decided to grow strawberries from seeds, then they must be stratified. Before planting, they are mixed with sand, the mixture is placed in a nylon and put into the refrigerator. So the seed is kept for about 2 months. Planted in pots in March.

The bushes are divided according to the standard scheme.

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.
