Garden strawberries Rügen

The remontant strawberry Rügen is an early, extremely productive variety and bears fruit throughout the summer and until the first frost. It has small, fairly dense berries (the weight of one varies, on average, from two and a half to five grams), with a rich red color with bright yellow splashes, a sweet, slightly sour taste and a characteristic strawberry smell. This variety of berries is suitable for any further processing: it can be used to make preserves, jams, prepare a variety of desserts, compotes, and can also be frozen for a long time for use in the winter season.

Rügen strawberries are small bushes, a characteristic feature of which is the complete absence of mustaches. This variety of berries is quite unpretentious, since it does not require any special lighting and can grow normally even in partial shade, and, unlike other types of strawberries, it is distinguished by considerable resistance to cold. However, it is best to overwinter strawberry bushes under a thick (at least twenty to thirty centimeters) snow cover. At the same time, for the winter it is recommended to cover this crop with spruce branches for better snow retention.

The optimal landing site is a flat, preferably slightly elevated area or slope, reliably protected from the wind. As for the soil, strawberries feel best in slightly acidic or neutral soil. However, any other soil is suitable for this berry, the main thing is that it has a sufficient supply of nutrients.At the same time, strawberries quickly pull them out of the soil, so growing them in the same place for more than four years is not recommended.
