Yellow Wonder strawberries are considered one of the most productive of all alpine varieties. The compact plants grow 6-8 inches tall with bright green foliage and delicate white flowers. The creamy yellow fruits are oblong with a pointed end and grow to about an inch long.

Regarded as a ‘gourmet’ strawberry by chefs thanks to its incredible sweetness, many prefer the taste of Yellow Wonder over the more common red strawberries. The flavour is a combination of strawberry, pineapple and rose and is slightly sweeter than the red alpine varieties. One of the best aspects of this variety is that the birds seem to ignore the berries as they think they are unripe.

Also known as Fraises des Bois or Woodland Strawberries, alpine strawberries are miniature ancestors of the regular strawberry. They are smaller than hybrid types but are at least twice the size of wild strawberries. You will probably never find Alpine strawberries at the supermarket because they are just too fragile. Unlike hybrid strawberries which tend to spread, alpine strawberries are easy to manage because they reproduce by seed rather than by runners. Alpine strawberry plants tend to produce very few runners, which you can keep the first year to fill space or cut to promote fruit production. These compact plants are easy to grow and are a great fit for container gardening. The plants are very productive and everbearing, meaning they will fruit in the spring and will keep producing until the first fall frost. Alpine strawberries are cold-hardy perennials that will provide an abundance of fruits for many years but should be replaced every five years or so, as production declines with age. They have a much better chance of producing the first year if started indoors and transplanted after last spring frost. The seeds can also be sown later in the year but fruiting may only occur the following spring. The bees seem to especially love their little flowers!

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Because of their tiny size, strawberries may be a little tricky to start by seed. But don’t be discouraged. Once established, the plants will produce plenty of delicious berries for years to come.

To get a jump on the season, start seeds indoors early in the season from December to February. Strawberries may not produce until the following spring if they don’t get a head start.

Plant seeds in a flat or small pots, one seed/2 cm. Don’t cover seeds, they require light to germinate. Press them lightly and firmly into the soil. Mist seeds and keep them moist. Keep soil between 16-24°C for best germination. Seeds should be kept under grow lights for at least 12 hours/day.

After they’re established, feed seedlings with a mild liquid fertilizer every two weeks. Six weeks after germination, transplant seedlings into individual pots. Start gradually hardening plants off on nice spring days, but don’t transplant until after the last frost.

Dig a hole for each plant 60 cm apart. Work some compost or your fertilizer of choice into each hole before planting. Plant roots deeply, but don’t cover the crown of the plant. It should be right at the surface of the soil.

Water in well and lay mulch to shelter the shallow roots. Ensure that plants receive 3 cm of water/week. Strawberries prefer full sun and well-drained soil.

New plants that sprout up yearly should be encouraged to compete for space with older plants. This will ensure good berry quality and production. Cut berries by the stem to avoid harming the plant and enjoy these summertime gems by the handful.

After a few fall frosts, it is time to cut the plants down to 3 cm. Use a 10 cm layer of mulch to insulate crowns and roots throughout the winter. Welcome new growth by removing mulch in the spring after the danger of frost has passed.

QUICK FACTS

- The strawberry fruit was first mentioned over 2 000 years ago in ancient Roman literature in reference to its medicinal use. During the 14th century, the French began taking wild strawberry plants from the forest to their gardens for harvest. In England, the demand for strawberry farming had increased by the 16th century. During the early 1800s, breeding was conducted to improve the hardiness, disease resistance, size, and taste, giving rise to the modern strawberry.

- Strawberry seeds will remain viable for two years if stored in a cool, dark place, ideally between 4 and 10⁰C. After that, the germination rate may start to go down.

It's extremely difficult and when it hasn't been maintained it looks like skin peeling after a sun burn

Poli-glow definitely works. The negative feedback is generally due to someone trying to remove poli-glow. It's extremely difficult and when it hasn't been maintained it looks like skin peeling after a sun burn. I purchased a 41' sailboat with poli-glow. The poli glow was flaking off and had to be removed. It wasn't fun. In the end, I bought poli-strip and used an orbital sander and wet sanded thru it. Then I used poli-strip, then poli-prep and washed it down. From there I used poli-ox and poli-prep one more time...I basically used poli-prep along with lots of water to wash boat down. The poli-ox when used thick, like a paste, ate through most stains once poli-glow was removed. It took two-three days of prep. Application took half day per side. I used two kits. Also bought the rectangular special applicator (far better than their mitt). Make sure to have lots of disposable gloves. I don't think the chemicals will harm your hands much...I didn't have gloves for much of the prep work, but gloves are a must when applying poli-glow. Othnerwise your hand get very gunked up.

Very expensive but worked no better than powdered cleansers
Material Type: Powder Ox, Size: 16 oz
My camper is a 2004 with oxidized paint and dark streaks from being out in the weather. I looked at reviews and there is a lot of hype about this product so I ordered some. I used this on an area of my camper to test it in case it didn't work and guess what...it didn't. It didn't remove the oxidation and black streaking any better than Ajax powder. In one place, when I used it as directed, it wore the paint down to the bare metal and didn't remove dark streaking in the surrounding area. The area I tested it on looked cleaner, but no better than the area I used Ajax powder on the day before. Very expensive for what it didn't do. I do not recommend this product.

Worth the time and effort.
Perfect solution to my faded out, sun damaged gel coat. Follow the instructions to the letter for a factory-like shine. One bottle was barely enough for our 22' Winnebago, another bottle for our 29' Cabin Cruiser. Many compliments on the shine.
