Strawberry is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Rosaceae family. The root system of strawberry is shallow, and the stems can be divided into new stems, rhizomes and stolons. Strawberry leaves are basal, triple compound leaves with long petioles. Most of the flowers are bisexual and the inflorescence is a limited cyme.

Strawberry fruit develops from the expansion of the torus, and the fruit growth curve is a typical S-shape. Strawberry seeds are achenes formed by the enlargement of the ovary after fertilization and are attached to the surface of the enlarged receptacle.

Growing environment

Strawberries like warm and cool climates. The growth temperature of strawberry roots is 5-30℃, the optimum temperature is 15-22℃, the suitable temperature for stem and leaf growth is 20-30℃, and the suitable temperature for bud growth is 20-30℃. Frost damage occurs at -15-10°C. The temperature must be maintained at 5-15°C during the flower bud differentiation period and 4-40°C during the flowering and fruiting period. When strawberries are over summer, when the temperature is higher than 30°C and the sunshine is strong, shading measures need to be taken.

Strawberries are light-loving plants, but they also have strong shade tolerance. When the light is strong, the plants will be short and sturdy, the fruits will be small, dark in color and of good quality. Medium light, large fruit, light color, low sugar content, long harvest period; too weak light is detrimental to strawberry growth. Strawberries should grow in fertile, loose neutral or slightly acidic loam. Too heavy soil is not suitable for cultivation. Apply more manure on sandy soil and irrigate frequently. Strawberries can also be grown in sandy soil.
