Hesketh Bank, Lancashire. UK Weather. 19th June, 2019. Warm sunny conditions at last to ripen everbearing strawberries growing in open curved Fabric Structures cloches. Migrant EU workers assist with the commercial horticulture, picking, cutting, harvesting & packing of Everbearer fruit. June's full moon is called the Strawberry Moon because it signalled to some Native American tribes that it was the time of year to gather ripening wild strawberries. Low temperatures so far have suppressed growth and reduced demand for fruit and vegetables in this farming area. Credit; MWI/AlamyLiveNews.
Everbearing strawberries aren’t really “everbearing.” They generally produce two harvests per year: one in the spring and another in the late summer or fall. Under ideal conditions, it is possible for some everbearing varieties to produce three berry harvests. Most everbearing strawberry types are also Fragaria x ananassa hybrids, but some are of the species Fragaria vesca. In general, everbearing varieties put out less runners than the June bearing varieties, as most of the plants productive energy is directed toward producing multiple strawberry harvests. Everbearing strawberries are often planted using the hill system or in locations where space is limited.
