When to plant strawberry in Tanami
- Plant seedlings: late Apr to mid JulTanami area, hot desert
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Tanami. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A favourite for gardens and pots that fruits from spring into summer. Plant runners in autumn or winter into rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soil, keeping the crown at soil level. Mulch with straw to keep fruit clean, and net against birds.
