The most popular day-neutral variety in Europe, well adapted to the Nordic climate.
Season
- Day-neutral variety with early and regular production throughout the season
Growing tips
- Well suited to plasticulture with bare-root plants and soilless cultivation under tunnels
- Ability to maintain good productivity in the second year of harvesting
- Tends to produce smaller fruit if plants are too heavy in fruit, given its exceptional flowering capacity, which may justify flower pruning at certain times.
Appearance
- Light red color with glossy skin
- Very regular conical shape
Taste
- Very good, well-balanced taste that holds up well throughout the season, even in hot weather.
Caliber
- Average size that is maintained throughout the harvest with a tendency to produce small fruit if the plants are overloaded.
Firmness
- Very good firmness and shelf life in refrigerated storage
Yield
- Excellent yield in plasticulture and soilless tunnels if grown under optimal conditions
Sensitivity and resistance
- Very vigorous plant with good overall resistance to foliar and root diseases
- Good resistance to phytophthora, powdery mildew, botrytis and anthracnose

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.
The mini-trayplant (MTP) is mainly intended for greenhouse and tunnel planting with neutral-day varieties. This strawberry plant, raised in a 140-ml cell, can be planted in vegetative growth with foliage (fresh plant) between September and November, or dormant between December and July. This type of plant is conditioned for very regular production over a long period, as in winter cultivation in greenhouses or soilless cultivation in tunnels. The mini-trayplant is available from September to November (fresh) and from December to July (dormant) for orders received before March 15.
The dormant bare-root plant (frigo plant) is mainly intended for open-field planting in plasticulture or matted rows, for both short-day and neutral-day varieties. It is a strawberry plant grown in the open ground and harvested dormant at the start of winter, to be kept in cold storage until spring planting. Bare-root plants are available from April to July for orders received before December 15.
