Variety traits

Plant height — wild strawberry

Fragaria vesca L.

A morphological trait determining plant habit, measured in centimeters from the root collar to the tips of the leaves or flower stalks during the peak flowering phase.

In the reference 3 varieties crop Wild strawberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

Fragaria vesca L. is characterized by three height ranges: short wild forms (5–15 cm), medium-sized cultivated and remontant varieties (15–25 cm), and rare tall forms exceeding 25–30 cm, often caused by etiolation due to shading. Height is a dynamic indicator that depends on light exposure, soil fertility, and variety type.

Plant compactness determines agrotechnical parameters, such as planting density and the need for mulching to protect berries from contact with the soil. Low-growing forms are preferred for ornamental purposes, whereas excessive plant height in low-light conditions negatively affects yield.
