Strawberry Gerkules

Hercules strawberry variety is a mid-late ripening type that begins to ripen in the third decade of June. The plants of this variety are large and spreading with a strong root system, which ensures good plant resilience. The berries of Hercules are large, weighing up to 80 grams, have a bright red color and a rounded-conical shape. They are distinguished by a pleasant taste with moderate sweetness and a slight acidity, giving the variety a unique charm. Due to their juiciness and flavor qualities, the berries are popular among buyers.

Hercules is characterized by high yield — under favorable conditions, about one kilogram of berries can be harvested from one plant per season. The plant is easy to grow, thrives on any type of soil, and prefers sunny, well-ventilated areas. To obtain a high-quality harvest, regular watering is necessary, avoiding overwatering, which may negatively affect plant development. The variety has high resistance to diseases and pests, significantly simplifying its care.

One of the significant advantages of the Hercules variety is its high cold resistance. The strawberries can withstand even severe frosts without additional covering. Moreover, the berries withstand transportation well and retain their flavor and appearance, making this variety suitable for both personal gardens and commercial production.
