Full-sized ripe strawberries in November is definitely unusual! I walked the entire field today. The good news is 90-something % of the plants grew very well this fall and continue to look healthy. The few % that struggled to get established continue to look poor and likely will not amount to anything. Hopefully, the healthy plants will stay that way. ... See MoreSee Less

Full-sized ripe strawberries in November is definitely unusual! I walked the entire field today. The good news is 90-something % of the plants grew very well this fall and continue to look healthy.

Most of our strawberry plants look very healthy right now, but the strawberry association news is not good. We learned that most of the Canadian plant nurseries that supply the southeast are infected with neopestalotiopsis, the plant fungus that we battled in August when we grew our strawberry plugs. To give some historical perspective, about 18 years ago the plant nursery industry fled the Carolinas to Canada to get away from a particularly harmful fungus, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, nicknamed "the Glow" and colloquially called anthracnose crown rot. The move to the colder climate has successfully suppressed widespread anthracnose, but this new fungus, nicknamed "neo-p", is not thwarted by the cold northern climate. It thrives and spreads like wildfire in the wet, humid weather that is the new normal. There are no fungicides labeled for use on strawberry plants that are particularly efficacious against neo-p, none in the research pipeline, and there are no strawberry varieties under development that have natural resistance. The only tools available are 2 or 3 fungicides with limited efficacy against neo-p, and good cultural practices. Strawberry farming will be more expensive, more laborious, and success harder to achieve.

Sunset at Atlantic Beach, NC. We are attending the NC Strawberry Association conference. It's been many years since we last attended; we hope to learn something useful to combat neopestalotiopsis, the worst threat to the Carolinas strawberry industry since we started growing berries in 2007.
