Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Quinault everbearing strawberry plants is relatively simple, ensuring a fruitful harvest with minimal effort. Strawberries thrive in full sun, meaning they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose a location in your garden that receives ample sun exposure. When planting your bare root strawberry plants, ensure the crown (where the leaves emerge) is level with the soil surface, with the roots spread out beneath. Space plants approximately 12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

The ideal soil for growing Quinault strawberries is well-drained with average moisture and a slightly acidic to neutral pH level, specifically between 5.5 and 6.5. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter like compost to improve drainage, or sandy soils to enhance water retention. Consistent watering is crucial, especially during fruit production and dry spells. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Fertilize your plants in early spring with a balanced fertilizer, and again after the first fruiting cycle to encourage subsequent flushes of berries. Regular weeding will help prevent competition for nutrients and water. These hardy plants are suitable for USDA Zones 4-8, making them adaptable to a wide range of climates.

To maintain healthy plants and maximize yield, consider renovating your strawberry patch every few years by removing older, less productive plants and allowing new runners to establish. This practice helps ensure continued vigorous growth and abundant harvests from your non-gmo strawberry plants. Protect plants from extreme cold with a layer of mulch in winter, and from extreme heat with partial shade during the hottest parts of summer.
