Description

 

The Annabelle strawberry is a variety that produces high-quality strawberries: bright orange-red fruits, medium-sized from 13 to 15 g, soft, of good taste with a light aroma of wild strawberries, very sweet and slightly acidic. It is a productive variety that will yield from 700g to 1kg per plant. It is perpetual and regular in production from June to October. It is versatile in cooking; it can be consumed raw, in fruit salads, jams, sauces, etc. Anabelle is a creation by Angier, resulting from cross-breeding between the Gariguette and Sweet Charlie varieties.

Strawberries can be consumed in multiple ways: they can be eaten plain, with sugar or cream or sliced thinly and dried before being incorporated into muesli or yoghurt. If you have a bountiful harvest, consider making jams, sauces, pies, ice creams or sorbets. You can also freeze strawberries.

There are three categories of varieties:

- Wild strawberries or "4 seasons" strawberries, producing small fruits from June to October

- Non-everbearing varieties with large fruits, blooming once a year in spring, producing very large fruits around June

- Everbearing varieties with large fruits, blooming twice a year or continuously, producing large fruits from June until October

Indeed, the wild strawberry or woodland strawberry, present during Roman times and in the Middle Ages, was crossed in the 18th century with a species brought back from Chile, allowing the obtaining, through successive selections, different varieties with large fruits.

The Strawberry is a hardy perennial belonging to the Rosaceae family. This variety has a sturdy habit, with evergreen trifoliate, oval and dentate leaves. It offers small white flowers with a golden centre that will transform into large red fruits. Botanically speaking, we refer to strawberries as pseudocarps, with the achenes (seeds) appearing on the surface under the epidermis.

For harvesting, pick the fruits as they ripen every 2 or 3 days, ideally in the morning. Strawberries are fragile; pick them with their calyx by pinching the stem 1 to 2 cm (0 to 1in) above it. The texture of the fruit is a good indicator of its ripeness. It should be firm and soft to the touch. Strawberries are rich in vitamins and minerals. They can cause urticating effects for some people as they stimulate the release of histamine in the body.

Planting and care

The Annabelle Strawberry thrives in slightly acidic, rich, deep, and well-drained soils. Loosen the soil a few months before planting, and add a generous amount of well-rotted compost. If your soil is alkaline, add some turf and provide a mulch made of acidic materials (such as pine needles or bark...). Remove any weeds and rocks from the soil. Planting this variety is preferably done in autumn. Choose a sunny location. Strawberry plants are good companions for garlic, beans, lettuce, onions, leeks, thyme, and spinach. However, they do not appreciate the company of cabbage and other brassicas. Strawberry plants remain in place for 3 to 4 years.

In open ground: Space the plants 35 cm (14in) apart in all directions. Dig a hole, place the strawberry plant (the collar should be level with the ground), and cover it with fine soil. Water generously. If your soil is damp, plant the plants on mounds 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8in) high.

In a pot: Place a layer of gravel or clay pellets at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of potting soil, garden soil, and compost. Place the strawberry plant, cover it with soil, and firm it down. Water generously.

Regularly hoe. Mulch around the plants in summer to maintain soil moisture. Install a protective netting before the fruits turn red to prevent sharing your harvest with birds... You can also place ash or coffee grounds near the young plants to deter slugs and snails. Water regularly, especially in hot weather. In autumn, remove dry leaves.

Apply compost on the surface in spring. In cooler regions, install a tunnel in spring to protect the plants from spring frosts during flowering.

The plants need to be renewed every 3 or 4 years. This variety propagates through stolons, small creeping stems that naturally root in the soil, forming new plants. To avoid exhausting the parent plant cut off the stolons and replant them if desired.

Wait 4 years before replanting Strawberry plants in the same location.
