Brill's Strawberry

Brilla, an Italian cultivar, has attracted the attention of most gardeners for its versatile fruits. They are used to prepare mouth-watering drinks, delicacies (preserves and jams), and are also eaten fresh.

Brill's garden strawberries can be identified by their lush green mass. The bushes are of medium height. The plant forms large and powerful whiskers in small numbers. The flower stalks lean to the ground under the weight of the berries. The color of the leaves is rich green. There are teeth along the edges.

Brill's strawberry belongs to crops with an early ripening period. The bushes bear fruit only once during the entire growing season (there is no remontability). The fruiting period is mid-May.

Brill's garden strawberry boasts a high yield. From one bush collect from one to one and a half kilograms of berries. The fruits have high commercial qualities, which are preserved even during long-term transportation. When harvesting, the strawberry is easily detached from the stalk.

It can be noted with confidence that the breeders managed to grow a productive and hardy variety. Due to these characteristics, the new variety successfully competes with other commercial varieties of garden strawberries.

Ripe berries turn red, have a bright orange tint. Their surface is glossy, shiny. The weight of one strawberry is 30-35 grams. The fruits have a regular conical shape and a sharp tip.

The taste of the fruit is described as sweet and sour and harmonious, with much more sweetness than sourness. The aroma is intense, pronounced.

Tip: Brilla fruits are great for winter harvesting.

Strawberries feel great in hot climates due to their high drought resistance. The bushes can be grown not only outdoors, but also in greenhouses and greenhouses. The variety is unpretentious to the composition of the soil. For an early harvest, the plants are grown in the summer, around July. The bushes manage to develop the root system and lay strong flower stalks for the next year even before the start of wintering. If all conditions are met, the harvest will be rich.

In order to properly care for the plantation, it is recommended to plant strawberries in two rows. The minimum distance between plants is 30 centimeters, in rows - from 30 to 40 centimeters. When planting, 500 ml of water is poured into each well. The same amount is used per bush. The soil must be carefully tamped.

When growing a horticultural crop, it is necessary to observe the entire complex of agricultural technology developed for non-repaired strawberries. The land needs to be irrigated as the soil dries out, weeds are removed. Prevention of diseases and harmful insects is also carried out.

Strawberries prefer breathable and fertile soil. It is necessary to choose a spacious and well-lit area. A rich harvest can be achieved on loamy soil. The optimum acidity level is from 5.5 to 6. Experienced sensors introduce organic compounds into the soil.

The bed is carefully dug up, removing weeds and roots of perennial plants. The territory is prepared in advance: about two weeks before the planting of the bushes. This time is enough for the wave to shrink the earth. The depleted soil is fed with the following composition: a glass of ash, 0.5 kilograms of humus and 30 grams of superphosphate per square meter of the plot.

Important: it is undesirable to use fresh manure, as it increases the acidity of the soil. It also contains pathogens and weed seeds.

This strawberry has bisexual flowers. The variety is capable of pollinating independently, without the help of additional fruit crops. The petals are white.

If the planting of bushes was carried out at the end of summer and on a site fertilized with organic compounds, then the first time fertilization can be applied in a year. The variety is high-yielding, so it quickly draws nutrients from the ground. After collecting the fruits, complex mineral compositions are introduced into the soil. Garden strawberries love phosphorus fertilizers. Wood ash demonstrates effective results. It is an affordable material that many gardeners use.

To replenish the supply of nutrients in the soil, organic matter is introduced at the beginning of spring. Rotted horse or cow dung will do. A bucket of fertilizer is used per square meter. The product is mixed with ash (0.5 cups). Before applying, mullein or bird manure must be diluted with water. For a mullein, the calculation will be 1: 10, for a chicken - 1: 20. Fertilization is often combined with irrigation.

As soon as the fruiting period begins, it is recommended to use potassium-nitrogen formulations. 20 grams of potassium nitrate is used per square meter of the site. After harvesting the fruits, complex fertilizers are added to the soil.

Before the arrival of frost, the bushes should be properly prepared. The plantation is carefully examined, the bare roots are sprinkled with earth, the dry leaves are removed. The green mass is not mowed. In winter, foliage will provide additional protection for the roots.

This variety is highly resistant to low temperatures, therefore, in the southern regions, plants are able to survive the winter without shelter. In other regions, plantations are covered with a thick layer of mulch. Straw, peat, or sawdust will do. Many people use dense agrofibre.

Brilla's garden strawberry has a high innate immunity to most diseases. Due to this characteristic, strawberries can be grown without the use of chemical compositions. Protect plants with crop-safe folk remedies. One option is dry mustard powder, which is scattered between the rows.

Spraying with a solution based on this component is also performed. For its preparation, 100 grams of mustard is diluted in 10 liters of water. The composition should be infused for 24 hours. To make it more effective, laundry or tar soap is added to the solution. The solution will protect the strawberries from fungus. Mustard also nourishes foliage.

Most gardeners advise using the biological product Fitosporin. It provides reliable protection against many infections and diseases.

Increase the plantation with a mustache. For this, uterine bushes are chosen, on which peduncles are removed. The sockets must be rooted in plastic containers. Around the end of July, young seedlings are transferred into open ground to a permanent growing site. Fruits from new bushes can be harvested the next year.

The second way of reproduction is division. Large and mature plants with no signs of disease are used. Divide the bushes with a clean and sharp knife. Each separate part must have at least two full-fledged sheets, as well as developed roots.
