Flavor Profile

One of the most remarkable features of Eversweet Strawberries is their consistent sweetness. These berries offer a balanced blend of sweetness and tartness, making them perfect for fresh snacking, baking, and preserves.

Everbearing Variety

Eversweet Strawberries are classified as everbearing or day-neutral strawberries, producing fruit continuously from late spring until the first frost. This extended fruiting period ensures a steady supply of delicious strawberries throughout the growing season.

Cultivation Requirements

Climate and Location

Eversweet Strawberries thrive in various climates, demonstrating adaptability to both cold and warm regions. They perform exceptionally well in areas with mild winters and moderate temperatures. Choose a location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best results.

Soil and pH

For optimal growth, plant Eversweet Strawberries in well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level (5.5 to 7.0). Adding organic compost can enhance soil fertility and improve moisture retention.

Planting and Spacing

Plant Eversweet Strawberries in early spring or late summer for the best establishment. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to ensure good air circulation, reducing the risk of disease. Raised beds or containers offer additional control over soil conditions and drainage.

Care and Maintenance

Watering

Maintain consistent moisture levels for optimal berry production. Drip irrigation or soaker hoses help keep the roots hydrated while minimizing leaf wetness, reducing the likelihood of fungal diseases.

Feed Eversweet Strawberries with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and after the first fruiting period to encourage continued growth and fruit development.

Pruning

Remove dead leaves and runners regularly to maintain plant health and promote larger, sweeter fruit production.
