Malwina is the perfect variety for a successful conclusion of the strawberry season
Malwina is ripening significantly later than most other late-season varieties. To get a connection to mid-season varieties, it is possible to force Malwina with fleece.
Malwina can be picked until beginning of August if plants are cultivated with straw covering (only small losses of yield). Malwina will convince your customers by its red to dark red color and its slightly acidic, but extremely aromatic taste.
Malwina plants are very vigorous. Due to that, we recommend a late planting date and if necessary a reduction of crowns after mowing in the second year of cultivation. In combination with a moderate nitrogen-fertilization, high picking rates can be realised in the second year of harvest.
Malwina is late flowering and is often affected by thrips and strawberry blossom. We recommend to control regularly while flowering.
