The Big Chill

Chill Now, Fruit Later!

Did you know? Most strawberry varieties require a period of “chill hours” in the winter to break dormancy and get their blossoms ready for spring to develop fruit. The chilling process is a must for happy, healthy strawberry plants. If strawberry plants do not receive enough chill hours, their blossoms may not develop or open properly, leading to fewer berries. The number of required chilled hours varies by variety, but in general, strawberry plants need to be chilled in temperatures between 32F and 45 F to snooze through the winter and wake up ready to grow. They snooze for a chilly winter so they can wake up to spring with sweetness!
