Description

Strawberry Tresca (Fragaria × ananassa “Tresca”) is a popular summer strawberry variety known for its sweet taste, vibrant red color, and high yield. It is perfect for home gardens, balcony pots, and garden beds (kiyari).

This variety thrives in full sunlight, producing large, juicy fruits in 3–4 months. It is compact, making it suitable for small spaces, terraces, or containers, while also performing well in garden beds. Strawberry Tresca attracts pollinators, which enhances fruit production, and is resistant to common diseases, making it ideal for beginner gardeners.

With proper care, Strawberry Tresca can provide a continuous harvest during the summer season.
