Flair is a Flevo Berry variety which ripens about
5 – 7 days before Honeoye. Flair is a rather open plant with a long inflorescence and therefore endangered regarding late frost. The harvest is very compact and you can harvest a high amount of fruits in a short time.
Flair is characterized by light red, beautifully glossy fruits. The flavor is very good.
An early water supply is very important for the size of fruits. Flair as an A+ plant is suitable for 60-day-productione.
Flair reacts sensitive to herbicide treatment shortly after planting. During the time when the plant has not correctly rooted yet, treatment should be cut short (splitting). A Ph.cactorum prophylaxis after planting is suggested.
The stock should be provided with nutrients and micronutrients at all time. Especially a lack of manganese and zinc will show itself in forms of lightened leaves. Similar symptoms you will find if the ph-value is too high or the ground temperature too low. With an early leave fertilizer you can counteract. Flair starts really fast in the spring but then is undersupplied very fast as well.
Flair is suitable for open field cultivation as well as dam culture. The best yield you will get in a tunnel. Even though Flair is a winter hard variety, you should protect the high standing rhizomes against winter frost. Flair must be taken care of really well after vegetation has started in the spring and should be supplied with water at all time. Only then there will be a good yield potential and a good flavor.
