‘Seascape’ Strawberry Everbearing-Day Neutral Fragaria x ananassa Zone 4-8 Recommended for Texas by Texas A & MWe
- This is one of the easiest fruit
plants to grow in the home garden.
- You will need to set aside a portion of your
garden to maintain this perennial plant; planting your bare root or seedlings
between 8 - 12 inches apart.
- Seascape is the variety of
strawberry plant that we sell, and it is grown extensively in the Pajaro Valley
in commercial fields and private gardens.
- Bare root stock is received in
November and one begins bringing them to market in December.
- This is a perfect time
to plant them for the earliest harvest.
- Depending on the weather, you may begin
to see flower bud clusters shortly after planting.
- It is best to remove those
early buds to encourage root development.
- Later in the season, the plant will
send out runners.
- It is also best to cut those back to encourage more fruit.
- In
late fall you may allow the runners to grow and develop new plants for the
following season.
- You can pull the older plants out every two years as the
strawberry patch matures.
- Seascape was developed by UC Davis
as an ever bearing strawberry plant that produces consistently throughout the
season (March - October). It does not require a lengthy dormant period or
intense chilling so is more productive in our moderate coastal climate. And the
berry tastes really good!
- For urban gardeners, strawberry
plants do well in large containers like half wine barrels or three to five
gallon pots.
- Full sun is critical to fruit production so make sure you have a
good sunny location before investing time and energy into container gardening.
- There are so many ways to enjoy strawberries that I couldn't really decide on
just one. My favorite way to enjoy strawberries? Eaten warm in the garden!
