How to Grow Sequoia Strawberries

Sequoia strawberries are some of the tastiest, biggest berries you can cultivate in your garden. There are three common strawberry varieties: June-bearing, ever-bearing, and day-neutral. Sequoia berries fall under the June-bearing category, as they are typically harvested in the summer months. Although they require a lot of sunlight, these strawberries are quite hardy and easy to grow. A single Sequoia plant can bear strawberries for three or four years.

Instructions

- 1
  Locate an area in your garden that gets at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight. This is the ideal location for Sequoia strawberries.
- 2
  Aerate the soil with a spade to loosen the soil and remove any rocks or weeds in the way at least two weeks before you intend to plant the strawberry seeds. Springtime is the best time in temperate zones. It should be after the last frost.
- 3
  Check the pH of the soil with pH strips. It should be between 5.3 and 6.5, which is slightly acidic.
- 4
  Layer 3 inches of compost over the soil along with some fertilizer. Use a shovel to mix the fertilizer and compost into the soil.
- 5
  Dig rows that are 18 inches apart and 12 inches wide. Each strawberry plant should have 12 to 15 inches of room between each other.
- 6
  Plant the strawberry seedlings in the ground. The top of the plant's roots should be near the soil level, since strawberries are shallow-growing.
- 7
  Water the seedlings as often as you need to keep the soil moist.
