About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The standard strawberry of European commercial cultivation, ‚Elsanta’, is a grateful entry for your garden. The large, evenly shaped fruits are firm, glossy and easy to pick and transport. As a once-bearing variety, it brings its main harvest in June over about three to four weeks. On sandy soils it is susceptible to root rot, give it a well-drained sunny location and renew the stock every three years.
Juicy and refreshing with balanced sweetness and fine acidity, aromatic but not overpowering.
