Strawberry Aromas - variety resistant to pests

Choosing a strawberry variety is a very responsible task that a gardener faces. In order to avoid mistakes, he must take into account the external and taste characteristics of the berry, the peculiarities of caring for it, preferences for soil and lightening, and the ability of the variety to bear fruit multiple times.

Aromas strawberry belongs specifically to the remontant varieties, that is, it produces fruit throughout the summer until the first frost. It prefers to grow on fertile soil (for example, sandy or slightly acidic loam). This variety of strawberry suffers greatly from weeds, so the soil must be carefully cultivated and periodically loosened. In May, organic fertilizers are applied to Aromas strawberries, watered at the roots with diluted mullein, in a ratio of 1 part fertilizer to 2 parts water.

Aromas strawberries differ from other varieties in their taller bush, this promotes better ripening of the berries, protects them from pests and makes it easier to combat them. In general, the Aromas variety is characterized by high resistance to diseases and pests (especially spider mites and mildew).

The berries are large and juicy, with a distinct strawberry aroma (which is where the name comes from). Insufficient moisture affects the quality of the crop. Aromas strawberry fruits become smaller than usual, and their special taste qualities are lost. Therefore, strawberry bushes need watering at least once a week, and in hot, rainless weather once every 3-4 days.

Aromas strawberries are not an early variety; they begin to bear fruit in mid-June.
