Antea

Antea is an early-ripening Italian variety, well-adapted to continental climates. The bushes have a spherical shape, medium growth vigor, and compactness. High yield: in the first year of fruiting, one bush yields 600 to 800 grams of berries, and by the second year, up to 1 kilogram. Harvest begins in early June, allowing fresh berries to be available in the early season.

Antea berries are large, weighing from 35 to 50 grams, with a proper conical shape and length up to 6 cm. They are bright red with a glossy surface. The flesh is light pink, medium density, juicy, with a balanced sweet-tart flavor and a distinctive strawberry aroma. Due to their dense structure, the fruits withstand transportation well and retain their quality even at high temperatures, making this variety attractive for commercial cultivation and sale.

The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness and resistance to most root and leaf diseases, reducing the need for frequent protective treatments. These features make Antea a reliable choice for gardeners seeking a stable and high-quality strawberry harvest under various climatic conditions.
