Strawberry variety Holiday is a remontant variety with high yield indicators and excellent taste qualities. Plants form compact bushes 25-30 cm high with a voluminous leaf cover, under which flower stalks are hidden. Berries are of medium size, egg-shaped, yellow in color, possess a bright aroma and sweet, dessert-like taste, surpassing many red-fruited varieties in taste qualities. Fruits do not form runners, which facilitates care and cultivation.
The variety differs in stable yield and synchronous berry ripening, which allows harvesting starting from July. Holiday adapts well to various climatic conditions and regions, preferring sunny, open areas. It possesses winter hardiness and resistance to most common diseases, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. In addition, the variety can be used as a decorative potted plant, which expands its application possibilities.
For successful cultivation, it is recommended to sow seeds in March-April with subsequent pricking out at the stage of 1-2 true leaves and a second transplant when 6 leaves appear. Plants are planted in the ground with an optimal distance between rows and bushes to ensure good ventilation and nutrition. Despite high yield, the variety requires careful attention to soil and fertilization, and has average cold resistance. Fruits tend to gradually decrease in size throughout the season, which should be taken into account when planning the harvest.
