Cultivation
Pollinator cultivar — garden strawberry
Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier
Garden strawberry is primarily a self-fertile crop; therefore, traditional pollinator cultivars are not required. Cross-pollination between different varieties is used only to improve fruit quality and prevent deformation.
In the reference 20 varieties crop Garden strawberry, where this is mentioned in the description.
Most modern garden strawberry cultivars are hermaphroditic and self-fertile, allowing them to set fruit by self-pollination. Consequently, planting specific pollinator cultivars is not a prerequisite for obtaining a harvest, and monoculture plantations demonstrate high productivity.
The exception is rare forms with functionally female flowers that require hermaphroditic partners. In agronomic practice, planting several cultivars together is recommended not due to biological dependence, but to ensure cross-pollination, which promotes uniform berry development and reduces the risk of deformation.
