doris, Ahhh, the legendary Fairfax strawberry cultivar. To answer your question, I have no plans to sell Fairfax strawberry plants or any other strawberry plants. My mission is to spread the passion for growing and consuming the delightful strawberry, and I have no plans of branching out into the nursery business. There are already a host of entities from which you may Buy Strawberries. Unfortunately, however, I know of none who actually offer Fairfax plants for sale. Fairfax has long been touted as having some of the best-tasting fruit of all time. However, the plants themselves went out of vogue many years back, and I know of no current retailers who offer them for sale. I get requests for them on a regular basis, so if you hear that they are still available somewhere, please do let me know!

Eric, I'm glad you've taken the plunge and started growing strawberries! Tristar should do well for you and, if cared for properly, will produce this year as a day-neutral variety. Of course, you can expect even bigger harvests next year and subsequent years. Pine straw is an acceptable mulch in a pinch, but hay straw is better, and spacing depends on which type of planting system you are going to use. The matted row system is probably the easiest and most commonly used. For more on how to be successful with strawberries, be sure to read through the main guide here: Growing Strawberries. Good luck!

addisson, podrían estar muriendo para un número de razones. Sus plantas de fresa puede tener una infección o infestación, o simplemente podría ser al final de su ciclo de vida. Si no tienen una patología o infestación, trate de trasplante de algunas de las plantas corredor sanos a una nueva ubicación. ¡Buena suerte!

Noel, For hydroponic growing, you should ideally use a day-neutral variety. Tribute and Tristar are good ones.

Chazz, Maybe, but it is easier to do it by following the instructions on the Strawberry Seeds page.

Maria,
Unfortunately for your situation, strawberries are temperate plants. I actually wouldn’t recommend you try growing them there as they likely will either die or do very poorly, unless they have a highly controlled environment in a greenhouse or other growing system. Good luck!

Angela, Pineberries do not produce as well as the modern strawberry hybrids that have been selectively bred for decades for improvements. But, if you follow the guidelines on the Growing Strawberries page, you should at least see some fruit this year!

Jason, I wouldn't worry about the cross-pollination. It should not be a big problem, especially with the Quinault. And, borage helps strawberry plants, so it is ok to plant them together as long as they aren't too crowded.

Melissa, It is, of course, hard to diagnose without photos, and there are a host of potential problems that could be causing the signs you note. Have you investigated to rule out Nitrogen Deficiency?

brandon, You can grow pineberries in an artificial environment in states like Kansas or Texas. However, they will likely perform more poorly than they would in their preferred habitat. However, see the Pineberry Seeds page for more info on why you can't get the seeds to plant.

Audrey,
Be sure to only try it under the supervision of a medical professional; but, he should be able to eat pineberries. Genetically, there are no pineapple genes in a pineberry. They are Fragaria x ananassa and not at all related to the pineapple, despite the pineapple-reminiscent taste.
