Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Quinalt Everbearing Strawberry bare root plants is straightforward, ensuring a bountiful harvest of delicious berries. These plants thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal fruit production. Ensure they are planted in well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-6.8) is ideal. When planting the bare roots, make sure the crown (where the leaves emerge) is at soil level, with the roots spread out beneath. Water immediately after planting to help settle the soil around the roots.

Consistent moisture is key for everbearing strawberries, especially during fruiting periods. Water regularly, aiming for about 1 inch of water per week, either from rainfall or irrigation. Avoid overhead watering if possible to prevent fungal diseases. Mulching around the plants with straw or pine needles helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and keep berries clean. Fertilize your giant strawberry plants in early spring and again after the first major flush of fruit using a balanced fertilizer or one formulated for berries. Prune off old, damaged leaves and runners to encourage new growth and maintain plant vigor, though ‘Quinalt’ will produce fruit even on unrooted runners.

These plants are hardy in USDA zones 5-8, meaning they can withstand winter temperatures in these regions. In colder climates, consider providing winter protection with a thick layer of mulch. For successful everbearing strawberry care, regularly inspect your plants for pests and diseases, addressing any issues promptly. Proper spacing (12-18 inches apart) will also ensure good air circulation and reduce disease risk. With a little attention, you’ll be enjoying fresh, homegrown Quinalt strawberries all season long.
