Kometa

Strawberry Cometa is an early-ripening and high-yielding variety with large berries, intended for universal use. The bushes are powerful and tall, reaching 10-15 cm in height, with dense foliage consisting of shiny, slightly concave leaves with wide teeth. Flowering begins at the end of May, and fruiting starts on June 10, with up to 5-6 harvests possible per season. The yield per bush reaches up to 2 kg. The variety has moderate drought resistance and requires regular thinning due to high crown formation. Frost resistance is weak, so sunny areas with fertile soils are preferred. Cometa strawberry berries have a wedge-shaped or cone-shaped form with a neck, dark cherry color with a matte tint, and a shiny surface. The average weight of the berries ranges from 20 to 40 g, while individual specimens can reach 100 g and more. The flesh is dense, juicy, with a red core, possessing a bright aroma and a sweet-sour taste. A feature of the variety is high sugar content and excellent berry transportability, as well as the unique property of maintaining shape when frozen, making them ideal for freezing and further use. The Cometa variety is resistant to diseases and pests, tolerates drought well, and is suitable for cultivation under film. Bushes do not like overcrowding, so it is important to follow correct agronomy to ensure maximum productivity. Thanks to its characteristics and taste qualities, Cometa strawberry is an excellent choice for both private gardeners and commercial growing.
