If the plant has fruit, then it has already been pollinated. The fruit is what contains the seed. The roots do not need to be very deep, the strawberry sends out runners which root upon contact with the soil. When planting an established strawberry plant always plant with the crown at ground level. John |

Hey Biyu, you want to place the new pot next to the strawberry plant you have on the side of your house. When your plant is ready spawn runners - anchor the runner down into the soil of youyrnew pot. The runner will begin to root. About two weeks after you anchored the runner you can snip it from the host plant and you will then have a new strawberry plant! I get runners all the time and its funny to watch where they choose to re-root. Last year my daughter had a strawberry basket. It was a large haning basket with approx 6 everlastings in it--the thing beared fruit all summer long. The only bad thing was that it cost $25--but it was fun to keep care of and delicious too! |
