Pollination Info
Marina Strawberry Tree Pollination
Marina Strawberry Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Marina Strawberry Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
Planting Instructions: First, ensure you choose a location with a lot of sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) and well-drained soil. After choosing your location, planting is simple: The Marina is adaptable to different soil types (even coastal areas), providing there is good drainage.
To plant your Marina Strawberry, dig a hole deep enough to cover its root ball. After placing your plant, tamp down the soil several times while backfilling to avoid air pockets in the area. Water your tree to settle the soil that surrounds the roots.
Watering: Water your Marina Strawberry regularly during its first growing season (about once per week) so that it becomes established in your landscape. Once established, you can reduce the watering frequency, especially since it’s drought tolerant.
Pruning: Prune your Marina Strawberry Tree annually to maintain its shape – it’s best to prune during winter, before new growth begins in the spring.
Fertilizing: Before new growth begins in the spring, ensure you apply a slow-release fertilizer to encourage your tree’s acclimation in the landscape and future growth.
Harvesting: Marina Strawberry Trees produce red and yellow strawberry-like fruit in fall and winter. The fruit is edible and boasts a sweet, tart taste – ideal for baking and canning – but can also be left on the tree for wildlife.
