Are strawberries in winter an out-of-season fruit?

Strawberries are a major economic crop in many places. Field-grown strawberries usually mature and hit the market between April and May, and can be harvested until June. Therefore, strawberries can be widely available in summer along with peaches and watermelons. However, now strawberries are widely available during the Spring Festival, becoming a type of winter fruit, which might seem

Netizens ask: I remember eating strawberries during Children's Day when I was young, but now there are a lot of strawberries available in winter, and they taste good. It's hard to find strawberries in summer. It feels like strawberries have become a winter fruit, easy to preserve, and delicious. When did this start?

Strawberries are a major economic crop in some towns of Anqiu, Weifang, known as the "land of strawberries." Field-grown strawberries usually mature and hit the market between April and May, and can be harvested until June.

So strawberries can be widely available in summer along with peaches and watermelons. However, now strawberries are widely available during the Spring Festival, becoming a type of winter fruit, which might seem a bit uncomfortable.

You say strawberries are a winter fruit, and this is due to these reasons.

First, strawberries are afraid of high temperatures

As the saying goes, "Low temperature makes flowers, high temperature fears flowers," strawberries have strong cold resistance and are not easily frost-damaged in the open field in winter, and can be cultivated in very cold regions.

But strawberries fear heat and do not tolerate high temperatures. Growth is inhibited above 30 degrees, and it's hard to form flower buds. Therefore, it's impossible to eat fresh strawberries in the hot summer.

Usually, we plant in autumn, after experiencing low temperatures, strawberry seedlings form a large number of flower buds, and can bloom and bear fruit in winter or the following spring, resulting in income.

Second, the impact of yield and price

Think about it, how many fruits are available in summer? There are watermelons, melons, peaches, grapes, and many competitors for strawberries, so they do not have an advantage, and the price will not be too high.

In the past, when we first started cultivating strawberries in this area, we used field cultivation. Due to temperature effects, the fruiting period was short, and the yield was very low.

Several years ago, I had statistics that field-grown strawberries usually yield around 2000 jin per mu, some as low as over 1000 jin, and high yielders around 3000 jin, it's rare to reach 4000 jin.

By using protected facility cultivation in winter, since strawberries can tolerate low temperatures, early maturity cultivation and promoted cultivation with protected facilities can advance the harvesting period to some extent, greatly alleviating the issue of concentrated field marketing, which can significantly reduce losses and increase yield and income.

Nowadays, using protected facility cultivation, a yield of 3000-4000 jin per mu is common, and some can even reach over 5000 jin.

Like the open-field strawberries in our area before, the price was only 0.5-1 yuan per jin, but after using greenhouse or warm greenhouse cultivation, not only did the yield increase significantly, but the price also multiplied several times. Like this year's strawberry prices, they reached 20-30 yuan per jin before the New Year and 7-10 yuan per jin after the New Year, beautiful prices and stunning income.

The other day, I talked to a friend about strawberry income, and he said that with 4 mu of greenhouse strawberries, he earned over 200,000 yuan this year. Is that amazing?!

In summary, strawberries are a tree species in fruit tree cultivation that bears fruit early, has a short cycle, and quickly shows results. Using facility cultivation can further shorten the production cycle and is also one of the earlier fruits to hit the market, replacing the title of "first fruit of early spring" from cherries.

When fresh strawberries hit the market, it's the off-season for various fruits, making them rare and valuable. By using a combination of open field, mulch film, small arch shed, medium arch shed, large arch shed, plastic greenhouse, and greenhouse cultivation methods.

Generally, from October to June of the following year, there are almost always fresh strawberries available to satisfy people's taste buds, while also using differences in maturity and price to sell far away, can income not increase?

Who would want to only sell strawberries in summer? Are there few such examples? This is the issue of out-of-season planting. With protected facilities, is there anything that can't be planted out-of-season? What do you say?!
