Lambada strawberries are grown everywhere and can withstand significant low temperatures. They love berries for their sweet, original taste, and a sufficient amount of sugar.

Breeding history of the variety

The Lambada strawberry is a variety developed by Dutch breeders in 1982. The procedure was done in stages. First, Sylvette and Holiday were crossed with each other, then Karina and Primella. The Lambada cultivar was obtained after combining the results of these two vaccinations.

In 1983, the berry crop was introduced to the international market. At first, local gardeners became interested in strawberries. Within a few years, it spread across the European continent, thus ending up in our country.

The Lambada variety is appreciated by gardeners for its high yield, ability to withstand low temperatures, and resistance to diseases.

Description of the variety

The appearance of the bushes is attractive. Bushes are tall, slightly spreading, have large dark emerald leaves. Peduncles rise above the deciduous part. The cultivar multiplies rapidly, producing many mustaches. A large number of flowers bloom on the shoots, which are large in size, snow-white in color, and a bright yellow core.

Strawberry Lambada has many positive aspects:

  • withstands low temperature conditions without shelter;

  • long-term fruiting;

  • gives a large yield, even if the plantings are thickened, as well as with minimal maintenance;

  • resistant to diseases and the negative effects of insect pests;

  • original taste of berries;

  • you can use the berries in a variety of ways.

With many advantages, there are some disadvantages of the variety. Berries cannot be stored for a long time. In addition, the fruit is difficult to transport.

Ripening terms

The growing season is about a month. This allows us to classify Lambada strawberries as early ripening varieties. You can taste the berries already in late May - early June. The variety does not belong to remontant, but in good conditions it is possible to get another harvest in early September.

Growing regions

Lambada strawberries are grown everywhere. The exceptions are the regions of the Far North.

In the south and central part of the Russian Federation, strawberries do not need to be covered when grown outdoors. Shelter is only necessary if frosts are set below –40 degrees. And this is a rare occurrence in these regions.

In more northern regions, in the Urals and Siberia, berry crops are grown in greenhouse conditions.

Yield

A large number of ovaries are formed on each bush of the plant. With proper care, each seedling can produce up to 0.7-0.9 kg of delicious and sweet berries. Sometimes the harvest can be large. This happens in the southern regions, where high temperatures are already established in May.

Strawberry bushes give a high yield in the second year. This situation continues for 4-5 years. Then it is necessary to renew the plants, since it is difficult to get even a small amount of fruit on old seedlings.

Berries and their taste

Lambada fruits have the usual rounded-conical shape, are characterized by uniformity.Each berry weighs about 20 grams. Ripeness is evidenced by the acquisition of a rich red color.

The pulp has no voids, it has medium density, pleasant taste and strawberry aroma. The fruits are sweet, the acid content is low.

The difference in the variety is that the sepals are raised up. This prevents the berries from sinking to the sand. They are in a raised position.

Growing features

Strawberry bushes of the Lambada variety are planted in three ways. The most common is the mustache method. They appear in large numbers in the culture.

Propagated by strawberries after harvest. Outlets close to the mother bush are selected. Often the very first ones are chosen, while removing the rest.

When planting young plants, do not deepen them excessively. Leave the seedlings 3 to 5 cm above the topsoil.

Strawberry Lambada does not grow to the sides. For this reason, it is necessary to leave a 40 cm distance between the bushes when planting. Also, pay attention to the row spacing. She should be comfortable. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to care for the berry crop.

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, 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

Although Lambada strawberries are unpretentious, you should pay attention to the choice of planting site. Professional gardeners recommend avoiding shaded areas. The Lambada variety grows better in areas that are well lit by the sun and have protection from the wind.

A good harvest is obtained if loamy soils are selected for the crop, characterized by a neutral or slightly acidic composition. If desired, you can grow Lambada strawberries on any soil. This is ensured if nutrients are added. Good growth is observed when choosing light, breathable soils.

It should be borne in mind that on lands with a significant percentage of salt in the composition, there is a slowdown in plant growth.

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

Lambada strawberries begin to bloom in the first weeks of May, if the weather is warm. The last time you can observe fruiting is in September, when the first frosts on the soil begin.

You do not need to pollinate the additional variety. On one bush there are more than a dozen bisexual inflorescences.

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.

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.
