Strawberries are grown everywhere: from the warm coast of the Black Sea region to the northern corners of our country. But not all varieties of this culture are suitable for planting in a particular region. Many of the varieties are regionalized, and not without reason. For example, in the Moscow region, where it would seem that the climate is ideal for this fragrant berry, gardeners and gardeners prefer frost-resistant varieties. After all, the middle strip of Russia is famous for unpredictable spring and autumn frosts. In addition, there are many more nuances that must be taken into account if we choose varieties for cultivation in the Moscow Region.
Variety Selection Criteria
The suburbs are characterized by unexpected frosts in late spring and early autumn. It is impossible to predict them in advance, so quite often most of the landings die from them. However, if the plants themselves survive, the peduncles will be beaten by frost and you will not have to wait for the harvest either. For this reason, varieties resistant to cold are selected for cultivation.
Unpopular among gardeners in the Moscow Region are remontant and ultra-early strawberry varieties. They most often suffer from frost.
Another important selection criterion is drought tolerance. Summer weather in this region is quite mild, warm, with frequent rains. But in recent years, the climate presents frequent surprises in the form of prolonged heat. Accordingly, it is worth making sure that the strawberries feel comfortable at any time of the year.
In addition to weather conditions, experts advise when choosing a variety to pay attention to the following indicators:
- productivity
- strawberry fruit size,
- resistance to diseases and pests,
- taste of berries
- ripening dates.

Reviews gardeners about varieties
I have Malvina from SP 2014. The bushes are huge, I wintered remarkably. It began to ripen when Xima ended. The shape of the berries is round, the taste is excellent. There are no leafy berries at all (I have not seen a single one) both on the frigos themselves and on the mustache received from them. On the mustache, planted late, in the fall excellent large berries, and ripen before the mothers. All neighbors have strawberries over. Definitely a divorce.

I have only one left to bear fruit of Wim Xim. The flower stalks are powerful, there are many berries on them, large, beautiful ... To my surprise, maybe the sun has become more, I now like it (I already left Eliana, a competitor to her taste).

About the winter hardiness of Albion. The last two winters were quite warm, so it was not possible to fully verify the winter hardiness of the variety. In the winter of 2014-2015. the variety moved the week of November frosts to -11 ... -13 degrees without any shelter without any problems.
