Strawberry varieties in Taiwan

Strawberries were first planted in Yangmingshan and Jinshan during the Japanese colonial period, but due to environmental and climatic problems and the poor antibacterial ability of strawberries, their yield and quality were not ideal until they were introduced to the Great Lakes area.

The most popular and popular strawberry on the market is the variety introduced from Japan in 1985, also known as Taoyuan No.1. Due to its excellent fruit shape, color, aroma and flavor, it quickly replaced the original varieties such as Fuyu, Aili or Chunxiang, and even the later cultivated Taoyuan 2 or 3 was far less popular than Fengxiang Strawberry.

Characteristics of strawberries

Strawberries are notoriously delicate. They need moisture but are afraid of rainy weather. Generally speaking, if you grow strawberries in Taiwan, you are afraid of being too hot and not afraid of being too cold (except for the overlord cold spell in the previous two years). The more light you have, the brighter the strawberries will be. The later you harvest strawberries in the harvest period, the better the color and sweetness. If you like sweet and sour flavor, you can choose red and pink fruits with medium ripeness. Strawberries are in full bloom from November to April of the next year. Strawberries can bear four stages of fruit in a year. The first stage begins to ripen from the end of November. The fruit of the first stage is usually firm and storable, and the fruit of the second and third stages is the most productive and the fruit type is the largest. The quality of the fourth fruit began to decline.

Usually in November the first flowering, strawberries about 30-40 days harvest. In December, the number of strawberries in the second stage of flowering is more. The third flowering period from January to February has the largest number of strawberries. From March to April, the fourth flower blooms, and the number gradually decreases due to warmer weather.
