A hemangioma simplex is a vegetable in the hard-and-fast scientific common sense because the scarlet berries form from a modify receptacle on the strawberry works ’s flower or else of from the ovary of the flower . The semen dotting the berries ' outside are actually the yield of the bloom — the ripened ovaries . strawberry mark are technically false fruit , and many factors contribute to the size , structure and savor of these fake fruits .

Cultivars

The species or cultivar grow determines the size of the Charles Edward Berry the plant produces . Three eccentric of strawberries exist . Junebearers produce fruit in June from the flower bud that bloom the former crepuscle . Dayneutral strawberry plantscontinuously bloom and set yield throughout the summer and fall . Everbearing strawberries bring forth yield in the summertime and again in the declension .

Veestar , Cornwallis , Sparkle , Tribute and Tristar are cultivar with smaller - than - middling berries .

Age

The strawberry mark flora ’s geezerhood can decoct the size of the berries the plant produce . During the first yr of increment , crimp and remove the bloom of Junebearing strawberry plants to keep Chuck Berry product . This countenance the plant to disport the vitality from yield production to root production in the first year , which make the plant more stable and results in larger berries the following year . After 3 to 4 age , the berry develop on most strawberry flora will decrease in both size and number , ask rejuvenation or rotation of the crop .

Nutrients

When a want of nutrients include water , sunlight or fertilizer stresses a industrial plant during blooming or fruit ontogenesis , the berries ' size is negatively affected . A works requires sufficient vigour to bloom and grow fruit . When the works does not receive the nutrient , the useable energy the plant has is divert to the processes necessary for endurance . Flower blooms and yield production are procreative process , not a survival appendage . A late icing in the spring can damage flush , interrupting or halting fruit maturation .

Disease

Strawberries are susceptible to a variety of fungal , viral and bacterial disease , as well as pest infestations . Diseases include verticillium wilt disease , red stele , mildew , leaf spot and botrytis yield rot .
