The peculiarity of the variety is the shape of the berries: conical and slightly rounded, very large in size and scarlet. A bushes are thick and, very important, with a great ability to form a mustache.

It is necessary to clearly distinguish the fruit-bearing bushes, and then cut off all the mustaches from them, since during the growth period they consume many elements from the root system, as a result of which the fruits become less qualitative. This process is carried out in early summer, when the "festival" strawberry begins to blossom. It is important to consider that the whiskers from the young root system are the strongest and most fertile. They appear between May and June. During the summer time the rosettes manage to fully open, and also the best peduncles form, from which the next year they receive a high yield.
Planting of strawberry seedlings is carried out in the veryilluminated and fertile soil. But strawberry "festival" can be planted in the penumbra, under the trees. This makes it possible to save a lot of space.
Planting seedlings in the ground, in the spring it is necessarycut off all the flowers, leaving only a mustache. It is these plants that will be fertile in the future.
