Winter protection — Garden strawberry

Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier

Winter protection for garden strawberries is aimed at safeguarding the root system and the plant's growing point, as the plant overwinters with green leaves and is susceptible to frost damage in the absence of snow cover or rotting during periods of excess moisture.

In the reference 29 varieties crop Garden strawberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

Garden strawberry is a semi-evergreen plant capable of withstanding frosts down to -25...-35°C if provided with a snow cover 20–30 cm thick. The primary threat to the crop is damage to the roots, which begins at a soil temperature of -10°C, as well as the exposure of the growing point (crown), which rises above the soil surface with age, becoming vulnerable to desiccation and frost.

When organizing protection, priority is given to snow retention and the prevention of damping off. Using breathable non-woven materials with a density of 60 g/m² on a frame is preferable to direct contact between the material and the leaves, as this reduces the risk of ice crust formation and rot during thaws. An essential agrotechnical practice before covering is mulching the base of the plants with dry soil or organic matter to protect the root zone.
