Types of plants available for this variety
The fresh clod plant is a stolon raised on a multicellular plate and delivered in summer with growing leaves. It is planted in plasticulture, generally in August, for a very early harvest the following spring. In addition to excellent recovery in the field, the fresh plug plant reduces runner pruning work, offers better resistance to cold during winter, and enables early harvesting of excellent-quality fruit. Available in August or September for orders received before March 15.
Trayplant (TP) is mainly intended for soilless cultivation in greenhouses and tunnels. It’s a strawberry plant raised in a 250 ml cell that has been kept in a nursery during the flower initiation period in autumn, then kept in cold storage until planting. This type of plant is conditioned to give a large crop of excellent-quality strawberries around 10 to 12 weeks after planting, depending on the growing schedule, and plantings can be programmed to stagger harvests. Trayplant is available from December to July for orders received before March 15th.
