How many times can strawberries be grown in a year?

Strawberries can be planted once a year , and the planting time varies due to different climatic conditions in different regions. In the warm southern regions, they can generally be planted between September and October in autumn each year. In the northern regions with relatively cold climates, late-maturing varieties are generally planted, and greenhouse cultivation is carried out from August to September each year.

Strawberry growing conditions

Strawberry is a perennial herb. The suitable planting temperature is 15-22℃. The temperature cannot be too high or too low, otherwise the strawberry will grow poorly. Strawberry is a light-loving plant and has strong shade tolerance. It is suitable to be planted in a sunny and well-ventilated environment. However, during the summer growing season, shading is needed to prevent the plant from being sunburned by excessive sunlight.

Strawberries like to grow in loose, breathable, humus-rich neutral or slightly acidic loam. The root system of strawberries is shallow but well-developed. When fertilizing, it is necessary to use irrigation fertilization to convert fertilizers containing trace elements into liquid fertilizers for spreading.

Strawberry harvest time

The growing cycle of strawberries is about one month , but they will mature in two months in winter. Usually from June to August every year, fresh and ripe strawberries will be sold in the market, and this is also the best time to eat strawberries.
