Vima Ksima belongs to varieties with large berries. This strawberry has become widespread in our country and not only. Highly productive bushes do not require special care and grow well in summer cottages.

Breeding history of the variety

The variety was developed in Holland. It appeared in the register of our country only in 2013, in Belarus - in 2008.

Description of the variety

Bushes are vigorous and densely vegetated. The foliage is concave and large. The shade of the leaves is dark green. The surface is slightly wrinkled, ribbed. Small teeth can be seen along the edges.

The flowers when blooming are large, the petals do not curl. The inflorescences are compact. The peduncles have short legs, they are located at the same level as the leaves. There is dense pubescence. Peduncles can withstand the weight of the first berries, but with a large harvest they tend to the ground.

The variety forms a lot of whiskers, if the requirements of agricultural technology are observed.

Ripening terms

Vima Xima is a medium late variety. The first berries appear by the middle or end of the second month of summer. It all depends on which region the strawberries are grown in. Ripening is consistent, so the crop is harvested several times.

Growing regions

If the planting region is the central part of our country, then it is best to plant strawberries in open ground. Also, the variety grows throughout the territory of Belarus and Ukraine. The variety perfectly adapts to various types of soil, withstands a temperate continental climate.

Yield

If we talk about the yield of the described variety, then on the territory of Russia this indicator averages 14.5 c / ha.

Berries and their taste

The berries have a rounded shape, but it can change depending on the year of growth. The largest fruits are formed by the third year. The weight of each berry is 20-30 grams, but especially large specimens were noticed, the weight of which was 90 g.

Fruits of a dark red hue have short and thick stalks. A ripe berry has an attractive glossy sheen. The pulp has the same color, it is sweet and very juicy. The fruits have a pronounced strawberry flavor.

Fruits can be safely transported and stored if proper conditions are provided for this. Basically, the berries of the described variety go to the table, but they can also be frozen and even made from them compote and jam.

Growing features

Vima Ksima can be planted in open ground at any time of the season. Experienced gardeners advise choosing the beginning of autumn for this: then the bushes have time to gain strength before wintering. Planting material can be obtained from existing plants or bought on the market. The distance between the bushes is at least 35 cm, since in the second and third years they grow strongly.

At least 60 cm is left between the beds. This is exactly what is needed to give each bush the required space for development and to ensure ventilation of the leaves. In order for the young bushes planted in spring to take root well, it is advised to remove the peduncles in the first year, sacrificing the harvest. The advantage of this method is that large berries can be produced for the next season.

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

This variety is unpretentious, but this does not mean that it does not require care at all. The soil must be enriched, regularly watered and weeded from weeds. Fertile soil rich in humus is suitable for planting.

For planting, choose an open, well-lit place, but without a draft. If the groundwater is too close to the surface, it is better to do aeration, otherwise the berries will turn out to be watery and tasteless.

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, as flowers of both sexes form on the bushes.

Top dressing

Early spring is the time when the grower has to take care of the first feeding. A mullein is ideal for this. The proportion is 1: 10. One plant needs 0.5 liters of a similar solution. When the ovaries are formed, nitrophoska is used as a top dressing. Only 40 grams is enough for a bucket of water.

From folk remedies, you can use an infusion of nettle, which grew in May. This mixture is infused for a week. 1 liter of diluted solution is consumed per bush. Before use, the infusion is diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 10. For summer, the infusion obtained from wood ash is ideal.

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

As mentioned above, Vima Ksima perfectly withstands frosts. If it is cold in the planting region and there is little snow, then it is advised to cover the plants with agrotechnical cloth or mulch.

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

Berries should be protected from:

  • weevils;
  • ants;
  • wasps;
  • strawberry mites.

As a prophylaxis, you can use garlic infusion or onion husk tincture. If strawberries are cultivated on an industrial scale, then fungicides are massively used.

Strawberries are often subject to many dangerous diseases that can seriously undermine their 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 two ways to propagate a variety:

  • mustache;
  • dividing the bush.

The sockets that are suitable for resettlement must be of the first and second order. Once they take root, the tendrils need to be removed. Now you can transplant into open ground.

If reproduction is carried out by dividing the bush, it is important to carry out the procedure correctly and not to affect the peduncles. It is best to use third year plants as they have a wide root system.
