Rina strawberry is a remontant neutral-day variety of Dutch selection, characterized by a strong, well-leafed bush. The bushes form flower stems at leaf level, facilitating easy harvesting. Fruit ripening begins in the second half of June and continues continuously until frost when grown in open ground. Berries are large, firm, conical in shape, deep red in color, with a tender sweet-tart flesh containing about 8.3% sugar. Berry mass can reach up to 75 grams, making this variety versatile and suitable for various purposes, including transportation.
For growing Rina strawberries, choose open sunny areas with fertile, loose soil of slightly acidic or neutral reaction. The plant is low-maintenance, but for optimal growth and fruiting, regular watering, feeding, soil loosening, and weed control are essential. Planting is best done in spring or fall, from August to October, while air temperature has not yet dropped below comfortable levels. It is recommended to space plants 10-20 cm apart within rows and 30 cm between rows. Strawberries can grow in the same location for 4 to 7 years.
The Rina variety is distinguished by high yield, reaching up to 85.7 centners per hectare, as well as heat and high soil temperature tolerance. Thanks to these qualities and low maintenance, Rina strawberry is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a stable, abundant harvest of juicy, aromatic berries with minimal time and effort.
