Strawberry - Ozark Beauty
Ask a nurseryman which is the best everbearing strawberry, and he’s likely to tell you it’s this one. ‘Ozark Beauty’ produces a ridiculously steady supply of luscious berries from spring until the first frost. The fruit is big, bright red clear through, eminently juicy and deliciously sweet — the quality of these beauties is unmatched. Ozark Beauty strawberries are one of the bestselling commercial varieties. Garden grown Ozarks should be even tastier because of the short trip from your garden to your table! The plants require no special pampering; grow them in average, medium-wet, fertile loam in full sun or in a container with high-quality potting soil. When these plants reach maturity they will be between 8 and 12 inches tall. They will have a spread of about 12 inches. ‘Ozark Beauty’ is self-pollinating and shoot off runners easily; it’s also resistant to leaf spot and leaf scorch. The best berry ever for jams, preserves, pies and freezing, and simply unbeatable fresh. In addition to being low in fat and calories, strawberries are naturally high in fiber, vitamin C, folate, potassium and antioxidants, making them a sweet choice that advances heart health, reduces the risk of certain types of cancer, and gives a boost to total body (and mind) wellness. NOTE: When making a strawberry bed in an established garden, be sure to locate it away from any spot where you have grown peppers, tomatoes, eggplant or potatoes. These plants can harbor verticillium wilt, which is devastating to strawberries. Zones 4-8.
