Misted Tip Strawberry Malling Centenary Plants
Many commercial growers of strawberries plant ‘misted tip’ modules because they can be relied upon to give heavy and early crops the following year – our own trials have definitely confirmed this to be true! The strawberry tips are lifted and potted up to produce very stocky and powerful plants with a big root system which, when planted before the end of August, will form a large enough crown for flower initiation during the autumn. This means an earlier, heavier crop next summer.
Bred to mark the 100th anniversary of the leading East Malling Research Station in Kent, this variety has a superb flavour with uniform and glossy, bright red, conical shaped fruit which is well displayed on the plant, making picking quick and easy.
