Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Eversweet strawberry plants is straightforward and rewarding, leading to an abundance of delicious fruit. These bare root strawberry plants establish best when planted in full sun, meaning they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Adequate sunlight is crucial for fruit production and flavor development. If planting in containers, ensure they are placed in a sunny location on your patio or balcony. For soil, a well-draining, slightly acidic (pH 5.5-6.5) loam enriched with organic matter is ideal. Avoid heavy clay soils, which can lead to root rot. Good drainage is paramount for healthy strawberry growth.

Upon arrival, soak the roots of your everbearing strawberries in water for 20-30 minutes before planting. When planting, ensure the crown (where the leaves emerge) is at soil level, with the roots spread out beneath. Space individual plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth. Consistent watering is essential, especially during establishment and fruiting periods; the soil should remain evenly moist but not waterlogged. During the first growing season, it’s beneficial to remove any flowers that appear. This practice directs the plant’s energy into developing a strong root system, leading to higher yields in subsequent years. Fertilize with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again after the main harvest.

These high yield strawberries are tolerant of cold in USDA Zones 4-8. In colder regions, consider mulching around plants in late fall to provide extra winter protection. Watch out for common pests like slugs and birds, and consider netting to protect your ripening berries. With consistent care, your Eversweet strawberry plants will provide a continuous supply of sweet, juicy fruit for years to come. Learning to grow strawberries successfully will bring immense satisfaction and fresh produce to your table.
