Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa 'Ozark Beauty') - Description
Taste the best by growing your own, with plenty left over for pies, tarts, and preserves. These self-pollinating plants produce a crop of large berries in June, and a second crop, usually of mid-size fruit, 6-8 weeks later. This strawberry is just excellent for preserves or freezing. Large red berries with mouth-watering flavor that just keep on coming on high-yielding plants.

Excessive heat or dryness will cause flowering (and fruiting) to stop. Remove flowers for about 6 weeks if plant needs to become established. Afterwards, leave flowers to allow fruiting. Fertile soil, watered, but well-drained, and sunlight are important for ripening the fruit.

Does best with full sun but may require afternoon shade in the hottest of climates. Mulch to keep fruit dry and netting to keep birds off. Divide plants every 3 years just as new growth starts in spring.
