Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Quinault strawberries are an everbearing variety known for their sweet, large berries and consistent production from late spring through fall. Ensure plants receive 6-10 hours of sunlight and are grown in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. Mulching helps conserve moisture, reduce weeds, and protect roots from extreme temperatures.

When to Grow

Plant Quinault bareroot strawberries in early spring after the last frost date. In areas with mild winters, planting in late summer or early fall allows plants to establish roots before dormancy, leading to an earlier harvest in the next growing season.

How to Sow and Plant

Soak the bareroot plants in water for 1-2 hours before planting. Dig holes deep enough to allow the roots to spread out comfortably. Position the crown level with the soil surface. Space plants 12-18 inches apart and water thoroughly after planting. Apply mulch to conserve moisture and protect against weeds.

How to Grow

Maintain even soil moisture by watering regularly, especially during dry periods. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Remove runners to encourage larger berry production. Regularly check for pests and diseases, and remove any damaged leaves or fruits to keep plants healthy.

How to Save

  • Quinault strawberries can be propagated through runners.
  • Allow a few healthy runners to develop and root in place.
  • Once established, you can transplant the new plants to another area.
  • Alternatively, divide mature plants in early spring or fall to propagate new starts.

Do Quinault strawberries come back every year?
Yes, Quinault strawberries are a perennial variety in USDA zones 4-8. With proper care and winter protection, they return each year. Mulching in late fall helps insulate the plants during cold months, encouraging strong regrowth in spring.

 

Can Quinault strawberries be grown in containers?
