Description of the strawberry variety Vima Zanta and Xima

Vima Zanta

This variety will surprise you with its large, bright red berries. Moreover, you can recognize them immediately by their distinctive matte color. The shape of the berries can be different and change with each harvest: if during the first harvest you see round berries, then next time you will have to collect conical ones, slightly flattened on the sides. If the strawberries are well cared for and the weather conditions do not fail, you will end up with sweet, juicy berries with a wonderful strawberry flavor.

The height of the strawberry stems is average, and the bushes themselves are quite powerful. If we talk about peduncles, they are thin, and sink down under the weight of large berries. The disadvantages of the variety include poor transportability: the fruits quickly break away from the sepals, their pulp is very juicy, but, unfortunately, not dense.

Among the main advantages of Vim Zant are good yields of 10-15 t / ha, as well as excellent drought resistance. Perfectly resists such diseases and pests as gray rot, verticillosis, fusarium, as well as other fungal or viral diseases. But it should be emphasized that Vima Zanta is sensitive to powdery mildew.

Ripening period - medium early, winter hardiness - medium. Having bought even a small number of bushes, you can easily propagate plants, because a lot of mustaches develop. But still, in order to grow a decent strawberry garden, do not forget about the obligatory feeding of the plant with nitrogen, as well as organic fertilizers towards the end of March and phosphate-potassium fertilizers at the beginning of May.

Vima Xima

We are in a hurry to inform lovers of large-fruited varieties that the regiment of strawberry giants was full of one more variety. It was bred completely by accident, so there is no pedigree in strawberries. But, despite this fact, many gardeners have already managed to appreciate all the advantages of this variety.

Vima Ksima can also please with excellent resistance to many diseases. But you should not relax, because in any case you must provide the plants with good care, otherwise, in bad weather conditions (for example, if the summer is too rainy), gray rot may appear.

Since the plant gives a little mustache, the main way of reproduction is the division of the mother bush.The variety is unpretentious, but still it needs regular and balanced feeding, wide planting and thinning of the bushes.

Vima Tarda

Tarda is an excellent continuation of the Vima series. It was bred by crossing Vicoda and Wim Zanta. And the fruit of the painstaking work of Dutch breeders was a plant with large berries, the average weight of which is 40 grams.

The color of the berries is dark red, the tip is yellow. They can be recognized by their distinctive brilliance as well as their amazing sweet taste and unique aroma. Strawberries have a high level of transportability, the range of application is quite wide.

The Vima Tarda variety is quite unpretentious, but the maximum return can be achieved only with regular feeding and observing the water and temperature regimes.

Vima Rima

Those gardeners who managed to make friends with the Vima Rima variety speak of this friendship very positively. Strawberries grow in powerful densely leafy semi-sprawling bushes. The leaf size is medium and the color is light green. The berries are large enough - with good care and favorable weather conditions, the weight of the fruits can reach 50 grams. The shape of the berries is conical, painted in a bright red color with a noticeable shine. Strawberries tolerate transportation very well, even though the flesh is very juicy and tender. The taste of berries is intense. The plant does not give a lot of whiskers.

The main characteristics thanks to which the variety has won the sympathy of many gardeners are winter hardiness, heat resistance, as well as high complex resistance to many diseases. Berries can be eaten fresh, but they are also actively and successfully used for technical processing. When preserved, they perfectly retain the bulk of the nutrients.

The yield of the Vima Rima variety is amazing: the first berries can be picked from the bushes already at the beginning of June, but the plants continue to bear fruit right up to the first frost in the fall. But you can go to the trick and extend the fruiting season by providing the bushes with the appropriate conditions. Therefore, if you protect the ground well, then strawberries can give berries until November.

From the description of the varieties Vima Zanta and Xima, it can be concluded that in a rainy climate, strawberries lose their taste and are exposed to various diseases. It is also important to emphasize that the level of transportability of Wim Zant is lower than others, so most gardeners use plants as strawberries "for themselves".
