Title: Winter Hardiness and Plant Vigor of 24 Strawberry Cultivars Grown in Denmark
Author: H. Daugaard
Abstract:
The winter hardiness of 24 strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cultivars in a field trial planted in August 1996 was evaluated following 1996/97 winter temperatures of-12°C with no snow cover.
Significant differences among cultivars for winter hardiness were expressed by the number of dead or
damaged plants. 'Senga Sengana,' 'Korona,' 'Polka,' 'Petrina' and 'Honeoye' were the most winterhardy
cultivars, whereas 'Burlington,' 'HapiP and 'Evita' showed very low winter hardiness.
A significant positive correlation was shown between winter hardiness and general plant vigor.
