Strawberry "Wima Rina": description of the variety and cultivation

There are many extremely tasty and high-quality strawberry varieties.The most popular are the so-called remontant varieties. This is justified by the fact that this variety brings a lot more harvest in one season only. Therefore, to eat such a fresh fruit can be even a whole year. However, remontant varieties are not as simple as they might seem at first glance. One of the representatives of this variety is "Wima Rin", which will be discussed.

"Vima Rina" - strawberry, part of the Dutch series of strawberry varieties. This is the only repairman variety in this series.

First of all, it is necessary to understand what reparability is. No, this term is completely unrelated to repairs and alterations. This is the ability to bloom at once several times in one vegetative period.

Vima Rina itself is a sort of neutral day. This suggests that laying out the kidneys here is not related to the length of the daylight hours. In this case, this process depends only on temperature and humidity. Such strawberries can be grown even the whole year, the main thing is that the process takes place in a greenhouse.

In Vima Rina, the buds are laid in cycles, and each cycle lasts from forty to forty-five days. The strawberries obtained were Dutch breeders in the Vissers company. The most interesting thing is that the whole process happened by accident - due to improper sowing. Parental varieties are still unknown, however, according to the characteristics, garden strawberries of the Selva variety can be the “parent” of the plant.

Speaking about the description of strawberries, it should be noted that the plant is quite powerful and durable in winter.

Bushes at this grade impressive, and grow extremely quickly. There are many leaves on them - they play the role of protectors from the scorching sun. The size of the leaves is average, and their color is green. There are some bulges as well as very small incisors. The flowers correspond to the size of the leaves, painted white. Inflorescences are located on a long thin leg. The whiskers are extremely few, which often interfere with the breeding process. For this variety will be relevant seed reproduction or division of the bushes.

Berries of this variety can be distinguished by their conical shape and red color with glitter. The flesh has the same color, but it does not possess brittleness.

This fruit belongs to the large-fruited type. The weight of one berry can vary from thirty to fifty grams. But there have been cases of the appearance of seventy-gram strawberries. With the onset of autumn sizes noticeably decrease.

The taste of the berries is amazing, sweet, and even reminiscent of sweet cherries. Evaluation of professional critics is 4.8 points out of five.

This product will be good for jam or cooking compote. It is perfectly preserved during transportation.

Many gardeners love this variety for its yield, and for good reason - in one single season you can collect from one to two kilograms of berries. With proper conditions and care, they can ripen until early January. However, even such a strong plant needs a respite of about 2-3 months.

If cultivation is carried out under an ordinary film, then the very first berries can be obtained by the beginning of May, and their ripening will continue until November.

Landing can be done at almost any time of the year, however, autumn is considered the best period. It is important to know that budding can be carried out only at a temperature of five degrees and above. If the planting was carried out in March, then the first fruits can be waited already this season.

After planting, seedlings begin to take root extremely well and quickly.It is recommended that the root system is powerful, and that the plant already has six developed leaves.

The undoubted advantage is the ability of Vima Rina to live in the same place for three years. At the same time, the quality of its harvest only increases. But regular feeding here is a must. It is also required to replace the old bushes with new ones every year.

The soil chosen for planting must be treated with organic matter. Most gardeners use nitrogen-containing fertilizers for this purpose - this increases plant growth. But the taste of the berries at the same time suffers. An alternative to previous fertilizers is phosphate fertilizer. Here the quality of the fruit only grows.

Ripening of berries is carried out only after fourteen - sixteen days from the moment of formation.

In addition to the above rules, it is also important to choose a suitable sapling. To do this, rely on the following factors.

• Selected bushes should be already formed, and the number of leaves on them should range from four to five.
• Leaf color is better to choose a bright green. There should not be any injuries or strange shades on the foliage.
• The minimum size of the roots is eight centimeters.

Having picked up a healthy and formed seedling, you can safely proceed to the choice of time for planting.

As mentioned earlier, it is recommended to plant in either autumn or spring. It is useful to pay attention to the weather.

Most of the dacha owners plant Wimu Reena in April or in May, but it is important that the snow melts completely and the soil temperature is at least ten degrees Celsius. In regions with a cold climate, it is best to plant in the fall. This is done either in the last days of August, or in the last days of September.

Preparation should be carried out in advance to put the soil in order.

• The entire area must be carefully dug to a depth of thirty centimeters. All old roots left over from previous plants need to be removed.
• One square meter requires adding about six to eight kilograms of manure, as well as thirty grams of potash fertilizers and one hundred grams of superphosphate.
• Before planting, thoroughly weed the ground.

Unlike regular strawberries, a variety such as “Wima Rina” requires a distance of forty-five centimeters between the bushes. Thus, the process of thickening will be prevented, and all the sunlight will begin to fall directly on the berries. Between the strawberry rows themselves must be left a gap of fifty centimeters long.

To plant this plant, you must carefully follow the existing instructions.

• First you need to prepare absolutely all the seedlings. Old leaves and dirt must be removed.
• Next, dig holes, the size of which is equal to 25x25 centimeters.
• In the case when the premature treatment with fertilizers was not performed, it is necessary to add them directly to the hole and mix them with the ground.
• All pits need to pour water.
• Next comes the process of landing. Seedlings are placed in the hole, their roots should be turned down, and the "heart" - to remain above the ground.
• The surrounding soil should be slightly compacted so that the roots have a source of oxygen.
• Then watering is carried out again, but so that water does not fall into the center of the plant.
• Now it is necessary to carry out the process of mulching with straw or spruce sawdust. This process is able to prolong the retention of moisture, as a result of which plant growth is accelerated.

As for the time of day for planting, this should be done either late in the evening, or on the day when the sun will be covered with clouds.

You can not believe that a good harvest will appear in the absence of proper care.It is important to carry out all required procedures carefully and in good faith.

Due to the fact that the root system of “Vima Rina” is superficial, the nutrition of the roots with moisture occurs constantly. But the leaves are the opposite, they constantly evaporate water. Therefore, watering when growing this variety is an important thing.

The first watering can be carried out at the end of April in warm weather. In May and June, the soil should be moistened six to seven times.

If the planting was done in the spring, then watering should be carried out two to three times a week. And in the case when the weather is extremely hot, it is necessary to water the plant every day.

Water for irrigation should be warm. It is recommended to carry out it in the early morning or in the late evening. It is best to conduct drip irrigation - so the moisture will reach right to the root.

When taking care of such amazing strawberries, do not forget about mulching - it is extremely important for development.

Mulching can preserve moisture in the soil for a long time, as well as protect it from weeds. Mulching perfectly protects berries from dust.

For mulch, dry grass or hay can be used. But you should refrain from hay, if the bushes were planted only recently.

Top dressing is an equally important factor for favorable development. But you can do without them in the event that the planting occurred in the springtime, and fertilizers were added. However, after one year, additional feeding will still be needed.

For dressing there is a definite plan.

• To grow strawberries as quickly as possible, nitrogen can be used as a top dressing. To create it, you only need to mix one tablespoon of ammonium sulfate, two tablespoons of manure and ten liters of plain water. On one bush requires one liter of solution.
• An excellent dressing for Vima Rina will be a mixture of bird droppings and water. The required proportion is one to one. For more results, you can add a little wood ash.
• Excellent harvest can be achieved with the help of nettle infusion. You just need to fill the bucket with nettles and fill it with water. The resulting tool must insist on the sun for about one week, and later strain and dilute with water. This decoction should be used only in the flowering period.
• At the very end of fruiting, it is recommended to feed strawberries with phosphate fertilizer. Forty-five grams of a substance is required per square meter.

Despite its excellent winter hardiness, Wim Rina, like other varieties, needs winter shelters. Although it is worth noting that in some regions the plant is able to endure the cold right under the snow. But even with this scenario, leaving bare ground is strictly forbidden.

Required procedure:

• with the arrival of frost, it is necessary to remove all the remaining berries and yellow leaves;
• root necks that have risen above the soil should be covered with the same soil;
• the outdated mulch needs to be replaced with a new one;
• if there is no snow in the current winter, then spruce branches are perfect for sheltering bushes.

Due to the fact that this variety is able to live for a long time in the same place, it is not often necessary to replant the plant.

This should be done only when absolutely necessary, for example, with a serious illness or a change in climatic conditions.

As it usually happens with such popular varieties, the reviews on Wimu Reena are mostly positive. The advantages include its excellent frost resistance.

Also, most gardeners praise its productivity, which is famous for its stability. You can not ignore the amazing taste of berries - sweet and vaguely reminiscent of cherries.

But here it will not do without cons. Many complain about the quality of strawberries and their growth. According to some, it has a greater tendency to rot or other unpleasant diseases.But often this fact is explained quite easily - such bushes are fake. Often you can meet people who want to fool and sell a seedling as expensive as possible. It follows that choose the product on the market should be very careful.

It is worth saying that the popularity of “Vima Rina” is fully justified - it is quite tasty and pleasant to look at, and also brings a rich harvest. But, like any other plant, this strawberry requires some care and compliance with all agrotechnical rules.
