Christine Strawberry plants with large very bright orange-red fruit has an exceptionally fine sweet flavour. Christine is the best early variety for disease resistance.
No more waiting until their second year for your strawberries to produce a really good crop - with these Misted Tip strawberries you can expect bumper yields from the first harvest!
What are misted tip strawberries?
Misted Tip strawberries have become very popular for late summer planting. The plants are produced by taking early, un-rooted runners from specially selected mother plants and rooting them in a mist propagation unit. The result is strong, healthy, disease-resistant plants ready for planting in late summer. Get them in the ground by the end of August and they'll establish quickly, developing good root networks over autumn and winter and growing into strong, healthy plants, with plenty of flowering stems in spring for earlier, heavier first-year crops than traditional spring-planted runners.
This innovative process in strawberry production is increasingly being used by commercial growers to give bigger and better first-year harvests, and now you can enjoy the same benefits!
Growing Hint & Tips
Plant your strawberry plants as soon as you get them, in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Space the plants 35cm (14in) apart, in rows spaced 75cm (30in) apart. Water regularly in dry periods, especially while the plants are getting established.
In spring and summer, feed fortnightly with a liquid high-potash feed (tomato feed is ideal).
Mulch around the plants with straw to protect the fruit from slugs and snails.
Once the fruit starts to develop, cover the plants with netting to protect the fruit from birds.
Cut off old leaves at the end of summer and remove the netting. Clear away any straw mulch to improve ventilation around the plants.
