In the U.S., strawberries are grown in family gardens inall 50 states. There are very few places on Earth inwhich no strawberry species will grow. The largest

strawberry producing country is the United States,growing 20-25% of the world's annual production.

California dominates U.S. strawberry production. Thestate's annual harvest consistently approaches nine-tenths of all U.S. strawberries. Most strawberryfarming is in the southwestern counties of the state(particularly along the coast), where full sun and amild climate predominate

What Farmers Need To Know When to Plant

Plant strawberries as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. The best

months are usually March or April, allowing the plants to become well

established before the hot weather arrives.

Blossom Removal

During the first growing season, remove flowers of June-bearing

strawberries as soon as they appear. Removing the flowers promotes

root and runner development which insures a large crop the following year.

General CareStrawberries are one of the most common grown fruit in home gardens. Strawberries prefer a well drained

soil, high in organic matter. They need full sun, at least 6 hours per day. Do not plant strawberries where

peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and potatoes have already been grown. These plants could get verticillium wilt,

a serious strawberry disease.

Watering and Fertilization

Strawberries need about one inch of water per week during the growing season. Before planting applyfertilizer and dig into soil at least six to eight inches deep. Water the fertilizer in to get it down to the

root zone. This action is done to keep the plants in a vigorous condition and to promote new growth

causing the development of more fruit buds. Do not over fertilize.

Mulching

Strawberries can easily frost over in the spring. . Old blankets or sheets can be used for protection against

frost. Spun bond material such as Reemay or row covers will protect strawberry plantings down to

temperatures of about 23-25F.
