Three new strawberry selections for mild climate zones and how to get them
Three new strawberry selections named LAM 09.68.4, LAM 11.23.22 and LAM 11.85.17 represent the first and most advanced results obtained within a Genetic Improvement Program carried out in the South of Italy as early as 2010, from the collaboration between ARSAC (Azienda Regionale per lo Sviluppo dell Agricoltura Calabrese), CREA - Centro di Ricerca Olivicoltura, Frutticoltura e Agrumicoltura and Cooperativa Ortofrutticola Torrevecchia of Lamezia Terme (Catanzaro).
The new Italian strawberries have been tested in Huelva, Spain, during the last two years and are still fruiting. Early and productive, these strawberries are characterized by a good taste and seem to adapt well to the weather conditions in Huelva.
