Plant types
Cuttings
Our cuttings are propagated in our greenhouse. These plants are potted up from mid-July.
Fresh plants
Our fresh plants are propagated from BM2 mother plants that were planted in early spring. The plants are lifted and distributed from the end of July onwards.
Waiting-bed plants
Waiting-bed plants are grown outdoors and on racks. The first strawberries are ready to be picked approximately eight weeks after the planting date. They are graded on the basis of rhizome thickness:
- Heavy waiting beds (WBH): 22 mm+
- Medium waiting beds (WBM): 18-22 mm
- Light waiting beds (WBL): 15-18 mm
Frigo plants
Frigo plants are lifted from mid-November onwards The plants are stored in our cool cells at -2°C. These plants are distributed from December through to the end of August. We use the following grading system:
- B 7-9 mm
- A 9-15 mm
- A+ 15-18 mm
- A ++ > 18 mm
Certification
All of our strawberry plants are grown in compliance with the rules and regulations of Naktuinbouw’s Elite certification standard. Naktuinbouw is the Netherlands Inspection Service for Horticulture This quality control system is based on fully inspected mother plant material that may only be propagated according to the pyramid system. This process ensures that all propagation material is clean, i.e. disease and pest-free. In short: guaranteeing the best start for our customers!
