General Description
Strawberry Arianna is an excellent choice for those looking for an early, large-fruited, and flavorful variety with high yield potential. Of Italian origin, it was developed for professional cultivation.
Appearance
The plants are compact, with vigorous, dark green foliage. Flowering begins early; blossoms pollinate well and produce abundant fruit sets. The berries are large, with an average weight of 35–40 g, have a classic conical shape, bright red color with a glossy finish. The flesh is juicy and firm, making it ideal for transportation. The taste is rich and sweet, with a slight hint of acidity.
Growing Conditions
Arianna strawberries thrive best in sunny areas protected from wind. The soil should be light, fertile, and well-drained. The variety requires regular watering, but standing water should be avoided, as it can lead to root rot.
Frost Resistance and Growing Regions
This variety tolerates temperatures as low as -20°C. In colder regions, mulching or light covering is recommended during winter. Suitable for cultivation in all regions of Ukraine.
Care
After planting, seedlings need generous watering, especially in the first weeks. Ongoing care includes maintaining moderate soil moisture, fertilizing (nitrogen in spring, potassium and phosphorus during flowering and fruiting), pruning excess leaves and runners, and weed control. During hot weather, mulching is advisable to retain soil moisture.
Varietal Features
Arianna stands out for its resistance to fungal diseases, particularly powdery mildew and grey mold. It delivers a high yield — on average up to 800 g per plant, with potential for more under proper cultivation. It transports well and retains its marketable appearance for several days after harvest. Suitable for both commercial growers and home gardeners.
