Growing regions

The Caucasus, Stavropol Territory and the Lower Volga region are ideal for growing this crop. When grown in the central regions, it is necessary to carry out warming of the beds.

In the case of planting in the Urals and the Upper Volga region, it is necessary to take into account the need to shelter the Kiss Nellis bushes from spring frosts. In winter, these regions experience a strong decrease in temperature, which can negatively affect productivity.

Yield

The yield figure is simply impressive. From one bush, you can collect an average of 1.5 kg of juicy and tasty berries, and with proper care, these figures increase to 2.5-3 kg. To do this, fertilizing is applied several times a year, regular watering is carried out and the plants are periodically examined for diseases in order to start timely treatment.

At first, they have a dark red hue, after full ripening they acquire a rich cherry color. The seeds are small, yellow, slightly depressed into the pulp. At the first harvest, the average weight of the berries is 50-60 g, after that the figure rises to 100-110 g. Kiss Nellis ripens a little earlier than other varieties with the same large fruits.

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 normal development of the bushes is possible only in the soil with a sufficient amount of organic nutrients. The considered variety prefers loam interspersed with sandy components.

Disembarkation takes place at the end of April. Before directly carrying out the work, the beds are abundantly moistened, after which suitable holes are created.

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

Kiss Nellis is a self-pollinated variety. This is due to the fact that flowers of both sexes are formed on the same plant. They are collected in rather large bunches of up to 10 pieces.

Peduncles have a diameter of about 1 centimeter, covered with leaves. Due to the appearance of large fruits, they begin to creep along the ground.

Top dressing

Large fruits require a lot of nutrients. In the spring, urea and ammonium nitrate are introduced, for which the soil is loosened.

During the formation of buds, the drug "Plantafol" should be added. All leaves are sprayed with this composition.

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 already developed vigorous bushes are characterized by high resistance to low temperatures. Despite this, in most of Russia, they need to be sheltered during the winter to protect them from the cold.

For shelter, pine needles, tree foliage, straw and similar materials can be used. In severe frosts, strawberries may die.

So that the next year strawberries will delight us with an abundance of large and sweet berries, 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

The variety is characterized by high resistance to infections and pests.But you should not ignore the recommendations regarding preventive actions:

  • garlic is planted between the beds, the smell of which scares off the spider mite;

  • traps are buried from the bear into the ground, which are represented by cans of sugar syrup;

  • wood ash is used as protection against slugs;

  • in the spring and before wintering, the surface is sprayed with a composition of 1% Bordeaux liquid.

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

Kiss Nellis reproduces with mustache rosettes. Their formation occurs during the period when the ambient temperature rises above +15 degrees, and the daylight hours are more than 12 hours. It is highly likely that the plant will take root only when using rosettes from plants that are no more than 3 years old.

It is not recommended to combine the process of fruiting and reproduction. That is why all peduncles come off on the selected bushes, after the formation of 3 rosettes, the garland is cut off. It is necessary to provide watering 2-3 times a week.

The variety is ideal for large harvests. Bred relatively recently, it can withstand the effects of an adverse environment, but it still requires proper care, otherwise the plant may die.

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.
