Description

The Cijosée Organic strawberry is a perpetual variety that produces medium-sized, conical fruits from June to October, they have a good taste and can be stored fairly well after harvest. These are very bright red, shiny strawberries with fine, juicy and tart flesh. It is also a particularly hardy variety, to -15°C (5°F), well adapted to mountain gardens. The Cijosée strawberries grow above the foliage, which makes harvesting easier; the plant easily produces runners, which is very useful for expanding a strawberry patch. It is resistant to Verticillium and has intermediate resistance to Phytophthora, Anthracnose and Powdery Mildew.

 

Plants from Organic Agriculture.

Strawberries can be enjoyed in many ways: they can be eaten raw, with sugar, cream or sliced and dried before being incorporated into muesli or cottage cheese. If you have a bountiful harvest, you can also make jams, coulis, pies, ice cream or sorbets. Strawberries can also be frozen.

There are 3 categories of varieties:

- wild strawberries or perpetual strawberries, producing small fruits from June to October

- non-perpetual large-fruited varieties, flowering only once a year in spring, producing very large fruits around June

- large-fruited perpetual varieties, flowering twice a year or continuously, producing large fruits from June to October

The wild strawberry or woodland strawberry, present in Roman times and the medieval period, was crossed in the 18th century with a species brought back from Chile, resulting in large-fruited varieties through successive selections.

The Strawberry is a hardy perennial belonging to the Rose family. This variety has a sturdy habit, with evergreen, trifoliate, ovate and toothed leaves. It offers small white flowers with a golden heart that will transform into large red fruits. Botanically speaking, we refer to strawberries as pseudocarps, with the achenes (seeds) appearing on the surface of the skin.

Pick the fruits as they ripen, every 2 or 3 days, ideally in the morning. Strawberries are delicate, so pick them with their stem by pinching the stem 1 to 2 cm (0 to 1in) above it. The texture of the fruit is a good indicator of ripeness. It should be firm and soft to the touch. Strawberries are rich in vitamins and minerals. They can cause itching for some people as they stimulate the release of histamine in the body.

Planting and care

The Organic Cijosée Strawberry likes rich, deep, and well-drained soils that are slightly acidic. A few months before planting, loosen the soil and add a generous amount of well-rotted compost. If your soil is alkaline, add some organic matter and then provide a mulch made of acidic materials (such as pine needles or bark...). Remove any weeds and rocks present in the soil. This variety is best planted in autumn. Choose a sunny location. Strawberry plants are good companions for garlic, beans, lettuce, onions, leeks, thyme, and spinach. However, they do not appreciate the company of cabbage and other brassicas. Strawberry plants remain in place for 3 to 4 years.

In open ground: Space the plants 35 cm (14in) apart in all directions. Dig a hole, place the strawberry plant (the collar should be level with the ground) and cover with fine soil. Water generously. If your soil is moist, plant on 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8in) high mounds.

In a pot: Place a layer of gravel or clay pellets at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of potting soil, garden soil, and compost. Place the strawberry plant, cover with soil, and pack it down well. Water generously.

 

Regularly weed. Mulch around the plants in summer to maintain soil moisture. Install a protective netting before the fruits turn red to avoid sharing your harvest with birds... You can place ash or coffee grounds near young plants to repel slugs and snails. Water regularly, especially during hot weather. In autumn, remove dry leaves.

Apply compost on the surface in spring. In cooler regions, install a tunnel in spring to protect the plants from spring frosts during flowering.

The plants need to be renewed every 3 to 4 years. This variety propagates through runners that naturally root in the soil, forming new plants. To avoid exhausting the mother plant, cut the runners and replant them if desired.

Wait 4 years before replanting Strawberry plants in the same location.
