Greenhouse Strawberries: Seasonal & Everbearing

Two growing strategies

GrowPro greenhouses grow strawberries on suspended gutter systems — fruit hangs clean below the gutter, picking happens at working height, and irrigation is dosed per plant.

Seasonal (junebearing) — one concentrated harvest window with large, uniform fruit; timed to hit the market when field supply is absent and prices peak.
Everbearing (day-neutral) — continuous flowering and picking across a long season; steadier weekly volumes and the higher total annual yield of the two.

Indicative yields

Derived from GrowPro model yield data (gutter cultivation; second figure with growlights):

Strategy	Yield	With growlights
Everbearing	≈ 13 kg/m²/yr	≈ 16 kg/m²/yr
Seasonal	≈ 11 kg/m²/yr	≈ 13 kg/m²/yr

Actual results depend on climate, variety and cultivation strategy — and strawberry margins depend on hitting the right market window more than on volume alone.

Nutritional value (per 100 g)

A premium product in nutrition as well as price — strawberries pack more vitamin C per 100 g than most greenhouse crops. Indicative values:

Greenhouse configuration

Strawberries are cool-climate plants: they want moderate temperatures, generous light and careful humidity control to keep fruit quality high and botrytis pressure low. Every GrowPro series supports gutter-grown strawberries — the Basic series for soil-based seasonal production, the Expert and Plus series for suspended-gutter systems at commercial scale, with the Plus adding HortiCoolers for warm-climate projects. Labor peaks at harvest, with gentle handling driving the premium grade share.

Frequently asked questions

Why grow strawberries in a greenhouse instead of the field?

Out-of-season supply: greenhouse strawberries reach the market when field fruit is unavailable, at premium prices — with cleaner fruit and far better picking ergonomics on suspended gutters.

Seasonal or everbearing — which should I choose?

Seasonal varieties give one concentrated, high-quality harvest window; everbearing varieties spread steady volumes across a long season and total more per year. The right choice depends on your market window.

What yields can I expect?

Roughly 11–13 kg/m²/year in a GrowPro greenhouse, rising to about 13–16 kg/m² with growlights.

Which greenhouse model fits strawberry production?

All three series support strawberries: Basic for soil-based seasonal growing, Expert and Plus for commercial gutter systems — with Plus adding cooling options for warm climates.
