Since that time, plant breeders made tremendous progress in improving the fruit quality and overall productivity of strawberries. Modern strawberry cultivars can be classified into one of three different types: June-bearing, everbearing, or day-neutral. June-bearing cultivars respond to the short-days of spring by blooming and setting fruit.
They bear their entire crop over a period of from two to three weeks. In contrast, everbearing cultivars produce two crops annually: one in the spring and a second, smaller crop in the fall. Day-neutral cultivars do not respond to the length of day versus length of night.
They flower and set fruit whenever the temperature is between 35 and 85 degrees F. Unlike June-bearing types, day-neutral cultivars produce a crop the first year they are planted. Strawberries are ideal for the home garden in that they do not require much space and normally produce good yields. They prefer a full-sun setting in a garden loam amended with organic matter. June bearing types should be spaced between about 18 inches apart in rows 24 inches wide.
Allow about four feet between rows.

Surprisingly, eggplants, tomatoes and avocados are botanically classified as berries. And the popular strawberry is not a berry at all. Botanists call the strawberry a "false fruit," a pseudocarp.
A strawberry is actually a multiple fruit which consists of many tiny individual fruits embedded in a fleshy receptacle. The brownish or whitish specks, which are commonly considered seeds, are the true fruits, called achenes, and each of them surrounds a tiny seed.
These achenes also make strawberries relatively high in fiber. According to the Wellness Encyclopedia of Food and Nutrition, one-half cup of strawberries supplies more fiber than a slice of whole wheat bread, and more than 70 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C. They are classified into early, mid-season and late varieties. Everbearing strawberries produce three periods of flowers and fruit during the spring, summer and fall.
Everbearers do not produce many runners. And, because science, sometimes both! Strawberries and raspberries aren't really berries in the botanical sense. They are derived from a single flower with more than one ovary, making them an aggregate fruit. True berries are simple fruits stemming from one flower with one ovary and typically have several seeds. The strawberry is not classified by botanists as a true berry. True berries, such as blueberries and cranberries have seeds inside.
The strawberry, however has its dry, yellow "seeds" on the outside each of which is actually considered a separate fruit. Ginger is classified as, "Red hair or hair with a red tint". Does strawberry blonde have a red tint? But there is absolutely nothing wrong with gingers!!!
The strawberry belongs to the genus Fragraria in the rose family, along with apples and plums. The name of the scientific classification was de-rived from the Old Latin word for fragrant. The modern Italian word for strawberry is still "Fragola".
True berries, such as blueberries. Rhubarb is a vegetable derived from cultivated plants in the genus Rheum in the family Polygonaceae.
