Planting time of fragrant strawberries and perfume strawberries, taste characteristics of fragrant strawberries and perfume strawberries

Before 2010, almost every strawberry orchard in Miaoli Lake planted "Fengxiang variety", which is what tourists call "I want the old flavor" of fragrant strawberries with milk flavor in the flesh. Lianxiang, a new variety of strawberries, is also a good variety, but what we want to introduce today is the characteristics of Fengxiang and perfume!

Strawberry seedlings are usually planted around the Mid-Autumn Festival (mid-and late-September of the Chinese calendar), and harvest begins around mid-November. Over the past five or six years, the temperature in autumn has become higher and higher year after year, and the mortality rate of strawberry seedlings of Fengxiang varieties has soared sharply. The most exaggerated case is the planting of 10,000 strawberry seedlings, of which 8,000 have died!

Every year, the number of seedlings raised by Fengxiang varieties is about millions of plants, and the number is fixed and distributed to all parts of Taiwan. When raspberry farmers encounter the dilemma of "planting 10,000 plants and dying 8,000 plants", they will not be able to buy new seedlings to replant.

Strawberry seedlings have soared from 3-15 yuan per plant more than a decade ago to 12-15 yuan now, and the cost of strawberry farmers has risen sharply. For example, 4500 strawberry seedlings can be planted on a plot of land (about a playground). In the past, strawberry seedlings could be filled with as little as NT $13500, but now strawberry seedlings cost NT $67500 per cent! This is also the main reason why strawberries cost at most 180 yuan a jin more than a decade ago, but now they often cost 300 to 400 yuan.

If strawberry seedlings have to be planted alive, it happens that due to the climate warming, there are many reasons why raspberry farmers succeed in planting their second and third seedlings. The 70-year-old landlady of Ruiyang Strawberry Orchard said, "this year, more than NT $400,000 have been replenished (with a large planting area). It's hard to say whether the cost can be recovered!. "

At a time when raspberry farmers were in constant condition of strawberry seedlings of Fengxiang varieties, perfume strawberry seedlings appeared at the right time. Fragrance strawberry seedlings have a low mortality rate and are easy to grow successfully. The fruit shape is bigger and heavier than Fengxiang, and the color is bright. The only disadvantage is that it is afraid of rain, which is easy to crack the fruit and become tasteless.

Fortunately, the weather is very cooperative this year (2017). Every day from New Year's Day to Yuanxiao is a sunny day. The owner of Liuhe Strawberry Farm said, "whether the perfume strawberries are sweet or not depends on whether the berry farmers are willing to pay heavy costs and start with fertilization." When tourists come to the strawberry garden, they usually tell the guests that there are two kinds of fragrance and perfume, and it is up to the tourists to choose which one to choose. "

From my practical experience of eating strawberries from many strawberry gardens, the taste is roughly as follows:

[fragrant strawberries] the feeling of slender flesh, melting in the mouth, and the strong smell of milk inside the fruit will have the desire to take one mouthful after another!

[perfume strawberries] the fruit is large and gorgeous, the flesh is crisp and chewy, and the sweetness is good, which is the favorite of cake makers.

As everyone's senses are different, some people like Fengxiang, some people like perfume, whether it is delicious or not, it can be known by personal physical experience.
