Everbearing strawberries in greenhouses
Sweet, juicy and available nearly year-round — everbearing varieties flower and fruit in continuous flushes across 9–12 months, the strategy behind premium year-round supply contracts.
Continuous flushes, continuous revenue
Everbearing (day-neutral) strawberries keep flowering and fruiting in multiple flushes across 9–12 months, yielding ±4.5–5.5 kg per plant per year at 20–30 g per fruit — the higher total of the two strategies, spread into steady weekly volumes. That continuity is what retail programs pay premiums for.
Off-season production leans on supplemental lighting — typically 180–220 µmol/m²/s — to maintain flowering through dark months, with careful humidity control keeping botrytis pressure low on the suspended gutters. Labor is the highest of any GrowPro crop: daily or near-daily picking, leaf work and canopy management.

Frequently asked questions
How much do everbearing strawberries yield?
±4.5–5.5 kg per plant across 9–12 months — about 49,900 kg from a 1-acre Expert greenhouse, or 129,550 kg from a lit 2-acre Plus.
Do everbearing strawberries need grow lights?
For off-season and year-round production, yes: 180–220 µmol/m²/s is the common range to maintain flowering and fruiting through dark months.
How labor-intensive is continuous strawberry production?
The highest of any GrowPro crop: daily or near-daily picking, leaf removal, pest monitoring and canopy management — plan the labor flow before the crop.
Which GrowPro model fits everbearing production?
The Plus series with LED lighting (and optional cooling) is the year-round platform; Expert works for extended-season programs without full winter production.
