When is strawberry season?

Strawberries are summer fruits that usually mature in June and July each year. Strawberries are native to South America and are now widely cultivated in China and Europe. They have high nutritional value, contain a variety of nutrients, and have health benefits.

Strawberry is a light-loving plant, but it is also shade-tolerant. When the light is strong, the plant is short and strong, the fruit is small, dark in color, and of good quality. When the light is medium, the fruit is large, light in color, and low in sugar, and the harvest period is longer. Too weak light is not conducive to the growth of strawberries.

Strawberries grow best in fertile, loose, neutral or slightly acidic loam. They are not suitable for cultivation in soil that is too sticky. Strawberries can also be grown in sandy soil by applying more manure and watering frequently.

Strawberry is rich in nutritional value and is known as the "Queen of Fruits". It is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin PP, vitamin B1 aspartic acid, copper, strawberry amine, pectin, cellulose, ellagic acid and anthocyanins.

Strawberry flavor and taste

Strawberries have a light fruity aroma and a sweet and sour taste. Strawberries are conical in shape with many pits, look shiny, and contain a variety of nutrients. They have high nutritional value and health benefits, and are known as the queen of fruits.

Strawberry is a plant of the genus Fragaria in the family Rosaceae, order Rosales, class dicotyledons. It is a light-loving plant with strong shade tolerance and has strict requirements on water for growth.

Strawberries are rich in nutrients such as vitamins, carotene, tannic acid, aspartic acid, copper, schizocyanin, pectin, cellulose, folic acid, iron, calcium, ellagic acid and anthocyanins.

Strawberries grow best in fertile, loose, neutral or slightly acidic loam. They are not suitable for cultivation in soil that is too sticky. They can also be planted in sandy soil by applying more manure and watering frequently.

Strawberry growing environment

The growth environment suitable for strawberries mainly includes soil, water, light and temperature. The most suitable soil pH for strawberries is 5.5-6.5. When the soil pH is 5-8, the roots and above-ground parts of strawberries grow well. When the soil pH is less than 4 or greater than 8.5, strawberries will have growth problems.

The suitable temperature for strawberry growth, development and photosynthesis is 20-25°C. Growth is slow above 25°C, and growth and photosynthesis are inhibited above 30°C.

During the flowering and fruiting period and the vigorous growth period, the suitable light period for strawberries is 12-15 hours. During the flower bud differentiation period, short daylight of 10-12 hours and lower temperature are required.

Strawberries like moisture but not waterlogging, so they are usually fertilized with small amounts of water frequently. If there is too much water in the soil, it will lead to poor ventilation and lack of oxygen, and the root system will accelerate aging and death, affecting the growth and development of the aboveground part.
