Recommended strawberry varieties that taste the best, are the sweetest, and are easy to grow

Attention, everyone who wants to grow strawberries! Choosing the right varieties really can make growing them twice as easy, so here is a detailed rundown of the features and growing tips for several popular strawberry varieties.

Benihoppe Strawberry

Benihoppe strawberries can easily reach 15% sweetness, and the berries are round, plump and bright red, looking especially tempting; one bite gives you a mix of sweet and tart, with an intensely rich strawberry aroma.
Tips: For beginners who want to try growing strawberries, choosing this one is sure to be a good call. Do not water too often in winter; a bit of controlled watering will make the sweetness even higher. In hot, stuffy summer locations, pay extra attention, as it is prone to powdery mildew, so you need to take preventive measures in advance.

Sui Zhu Strawberry

Sui Zhu strawberries have crisp yet tender flesh, and the berries produced in winter are especially sweet, with large berries reaching 50g! The flesh is white, giving them a very striking look.
Tips: It is recommended to plant them in winter, as they are prone to disease in high summer heat and need special attention. Sui Zhu strawberries come in red-fleshed and white-fleshed types; the red-fleshed version is a bit more tart, so those who want a purely sweet flavor should choose the white-fleshed one. Do not water or fertilize too aggressively at ordinary times, or the seedlings can easily be burned.

Xuan Yu Strawberry

The black-red berries look extremely cool, and one bite gives plenty of juice with a full sweet-and-tart flavor; they also bear fruit especially well, making them perfect for growing in southern climates.
Tips: Xuan Yu strawberries have high light requirements, so they must be planted in a spot with plenty of sunshine, or the berries will not develop good color. During stretches of cloudy and rainy days, the sweetness will be affected. When summer is too hot, the berries easily turn tart, so it is best to put up a shade net to help cool them down.

Zhang Ji Strawberry

Zhang Ji strawberries are so soft and tender that one bite feels like milk pudding, with a light creamy fragrance; the sweetness is around 12-14 degrees, and one bite is enough to get you hooked.
Tips: For beginners who want to get started growing strawberries, Zhang Ji is a good choice! But it has weak resistance to powdery mildew, so you need to observe it more often during ordinary care. The berries are too delicate and do not travel well, so they taste best when picked and eaten right away.

Pink Jade Strawberry

Pink Jade strawberries are not only good-looking, but also naturally carry a peach and creamy fragrance; they are high in sweetness and disease-resistant, making them very beginner-friendly.
Tips: They tend to turn bitter when grown in summer, so it is recommended to grow them in a greenhouse in winter.

Light Snow Strawberry

Light Snow strawberries are called the "ice cream of the strawberry world"! With orange-yellow flesh, they are purely sweet with no tartness, intensely fragrant, and have a dense, delicate texture.
Tips: To grow Light Snow, choose a spot with good ventilation and plenty of light, and spray regularly to prevent powdery mildew.
