Gary L. Heilig, retired Horticulture Educator for Michigan State University Extension discusses what should be considered when selecting strawberry cultivars to grow. They include: sources, flavor, sweetness, intended use, plant types, harvest date, disease resistance, hardiness, productivity, berry size and color.
Gary, As always you make such nice videos and a wonderful thoughtful messages at the end.
Thank you! I’ve got Albions coming in March and Ozarks coming in a few weeks. I’m excited to plant them!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Cavendish is an incredible variety for us in the north. Planted 25 plants from Nourse and it spread into a nice wide row and gave me a huge crop the next spring. All the u- pick berry farms up here grow this as one of their top varieties. I plant Mara De Bois from nourse every year as an annual-100 plants. Plant May 15 and they start producing late July and have a heavy steady crop till October. They bloom like crazy. Minnesota.
do you have problems with spotted wing droesiphila on your Mara De Bois plants ?
I am in northern WI, zone 3, and have trouble with the droesiphila in my blackberries.
@@terrytegen5542 what variety of blackberry is cold hardy enough for the canes to survive the winter in zone 3 (or, what variety of primocane blackberry produces early enough before frost, if you only obtain a fall harvest)?
I am in zone 5a and have been getting the impression that I may be too far north to grow blackberries. I hope not! Raspberries appear more cold hardy, but I would like to grow both. Thanks for any info from your experience.
Absolutely, I'm with you!! Best flavor is the most important. Who want lots and lots of sour berries? Icky
Nice video! Love you
You are up there in Michigan and I'm down here in Manassas Va & our seasons are the same. Go figure Ripen before Oct 15 or else
YES...

Hi Gary
I have so enjoyed your program and your tips are very helpful
I'm from South Africa Gauteng province and been growing strawberries for a long time
I grow in dutch pots and was asked to sell my berries for my retirement
The nurseries are not very helpful
They want you to buy what they have and i want to know what the best cultivar suits my needs for sales
I use living soil and feed nutrients every 12 days
I would be very grateful for your personal advice
Yours sincerely Barbs
