Holland has presented the world with many wonderful varieties of various plants, some of which are famous for their beauty, others for unusually tasty fruits. The garden strawberry variety Vima Zanta is one of the representatives of the latter category. It is grown in Europe, near and far abroad, as well as in Russia.

Breeding history of the variety

The hybrid variety appeared thanks to the efforts of the team of breeders of the Dutch company Vissers Aardbeiplanten B. V. To accomplish the task, the following varieties were used:

  • Crown;
  • Elsanta.

The result obtained was recognized and registered in many State Registers - Belarus and Ukraine, in the Russian Federation.

It should be noted that the parents had valuable qualities. Elsanta perfectly tolerates negative temperatures, and Korona has a high and stable yield on heavy depleted soils.

Description of the variety

Vima Zanta has upright, well leafy, powerful, medium-sized shrubs. Leaves of medium size with slightly pubescent petioles are painted in a pale green range. Milky-white flowers are collected in large inflorescences and are held on massive peduncles. During flowering, they are located at the level of the accumulation of green mass, as the ripening berries become heavier, the peduncles fall to the ground. The hybrid is distinguished by increased mustache build-up and curled leaves.

Ripening terms

Vima Zanta was bred as a hybrid variety of medium early ripening, bearing fruit already in late May - early June. The timing is named ideal, from the originators, but they largely depend on the climatic characteristics and the method of agricultural technology - growing in open ground or in closed, where, of course, ripening begins much earlier.

Growing regions

The variety is adapted to the conditions of a temperate continental climate - the berry grows well on a variety of soils of forest-steppe and forest zones in the open ground. Vima Zanta is recommended for cultivation in the Central regions of Russia, as well as Belarus, north-western and central regions of Ukraine.

Yield

Vima Zanta is considered a high-yielding variety - it gives 0.6-0.8 kg per bush, 10-15 t / ha.

Berries and their taste

Vim Zanta berries are large, have a beautiful truncated-conical shape, scarlet-red color with yellow blotches on the tip of the berry. Fruit weight 35–42 g. Fruits are characterized by sweet taste and pronounced aroma with medium-dense juicy pulp. According to the tasting system, the variety has 4.4 points.

Growing features

The bushes of Wim Zant do not tolerate thickening - for them a slightly sparse planting with an optimal pattern of 30-40 cm between holes and at least 60 cm between rows is normal. Due to the tendency to build up a large number of whiskers, they must be thinned regularly, otherwise it threatens to reduce the yield.

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

The Vima Zanta variety does not differ in originality in terms of agricultural technology. When planting, you need to choose a sunny place without drafts, no waterlogging and soil with an average ph (acidity) level. The soil for garden strawberries is prepared in advance, having previously introduced organic matter and fertilizers into it. Moderate watering if the weather is dry.

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

The variety blooms with bisexual flowers, so it does not need additional pollination.

Top dressing

Fertilization occurs in early spring, post-flowering and autumn. In the spring, the soil is enriched with nitrogen to stimulate the vegetative mass; urea is suitable at the rate of 20 g per m2.

After flowering, organic matter is introduced by irrigation. To do this, chicken droppings or mullein are diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 10 and each bush is watered with 0.5 liters of the resulting solution. In autumn, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied to the soil.

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

Despite its high frost resistance, the Vima Zanta variety, and especially the first-year bushes, needs shelter for the winter. The bushes are mulched with sawdust, covered with spruce branches or agrofibre. Protects well a large layer of snow.

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

The variety is highly resistant to wilting, gray rot, verticillium. The level of resistance to powdery mildew is medium.

For prophylaxis, fungicide treatments are required. In the fight against insects, including strawberry whitefly, strawberry leaf beetle, raspberry-strawberry weevil, insecticides are used - "Karate", "Aktellik" and other analogues.

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

This stage is not difficult - the variety reproduces well with daughter rosettes. There will be a lot of them by the end of the season, if you do not remove the mustache and allow them to take root. A good mother bush is capable of producing 15–20 full-grown plants. To obtain "young growth" it is necessary to use bushes 2-3 years old.

Older plantings lose their ability to reproduce. This method leads to the preservation of species characteristics in daughter plants and a high, almost 100%, survival rate.

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.

Review overview

Numerous reviews indicate a positive opinion of gardeners about the taste of the Vima Zanta variety and its aroma. For some, it resembles caramel. As a disadvantage, a loss of taste was noted in the berry planted in more severe climates.
