Strawberries
Day-neutral strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) are a unique variety of strawberry that produce fruit continuously throughout the growing season, regardless of the day length, making them ideal for gardeners seeking a steady supply of fresh strawberries from spring to fall. Unlike traditional June-bearing strawberries, which produce a single large crop in early summer, day-neutral strawberries bear fruit throughout the growing season, typically starting in late spring and continuing until the first frost. This consistent fruiting habit is perfect for home gardeners who want to enjoy fresh berries for an extended period. Varieties like Albion and Seascape are popular day-neutral options, known for their sweet, large, and flavorful berries. These strawberries thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, and they tend to be more tolerant of Georgia’s warmer climate, making them an excellent choice for both northern and southern regions. Day-neutral strawberries also have the advantage of requiring less maintenance, as they don’t have a distinct flowering and harvest period, but they do require consistent watering and care to ensure healthy, productive plants throughout the season.
Everbearing strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) are a popular variety known for their ability to produce multiple harvests throughout the growing season, typically yielding fruit in spring, summer, and fall. This continuous fruiting cycle makes them an ideal choice for gardeners who want fresh strawberries for an extended period, rather than a single large harvest. Everbearing varieties, such as Ozark Beauty and Quinault, are prized for their ability to bear flavorful, medium to large-sized berries multiple times a year. While they don't produce as large of a crop as June-bearing varieties, they offer the advantage of consistent fruit production, ensuring that gardeners can enjoy fresh berries over a longer span. Everbearing strawberries thrive in well-drained soil and full sun and are relatively easy to care for, making them a great option for home gardeners in Georgia, where extended growing seasons are common. They tend to be less affected by temperature fluctuations, which makes them adaptable to both mild and warmer climates, and they provide a steady source of delicious, sweet fruit throughout the growing season.
June-bearing strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) are a classic variety of strawberry known for producing one large, concentrated harvest in early to mid-summer, typically in late spring to early June. These strawberries are often the preferred choice for gardeners who want a high yield during a specific time of year for fresh eating, baking, or preserving. Popular varieties such as Chandler, Sweet Charlie, and Camarosa are known for their large, sweet, and flavorful berries. June-bearing strawberries tend to grow vigorously, producing a bountiful crop in a short period, which makes them ideal for those who want to harvest and enjoy large quantities of strawberries in a specific window. These varieties thrive in well-drained, slightly acidic soils and full sun, and they require consistent care, including regular watering and weed management, to ensure the best fruit production. Although they only bear fruit once per year, the abundance of berries they produce during their short harvest period makes June-bearing strawberries a popular choice for gardeners and those looking to preserve their harvest.
