   I was hopeful to find some Tribute or Tristar strawberry plants but none of the vendors seem to have them. Any recommendations?

   I only started growing strawberries last year but might I suggest people check places like craigslist and facebook marketplace in spring and early summer. I was able to get a dozen varieties, multiple plants of each from a local farmer for the price of what a handful of plants would’ve cost at a big box store. Finding someone with so many different kinds was pretty lucky, but I saw plenty of different people selling plants at low prices compared to local stores.

     I have a 5 gallon bucket with three plants in it. Planted last spring outdoors. I didn’t do a good job this fall covering them for winter. The runners are sporting green leaves but the main plant isn’t looking very well. Could the runners be rooted since they have green leaves since there partly covered with leaves?

   Hi, great website! Is there a way I can search for a nursery / supplier by location, so that if I want to go pick up plants in person, I can see which places are in my area?

   Hi Danny here: several years ago I purchased some straw berry plants 25 or so I planted them on a mound 4 ft high and 8 ft across at the base, the mound was quickly covered by the plants the next May we were picking about a quart and a half to three quarts of berries every day. And that continued into September. If we quit picking daily the production would slow down till the next year. The Berries, were large and very sweet. Unfortunately, we moved and didn’t take any plants with us. We lived in Sumner, WA. By the description , can you guess as to the variety, or give us an idea as to a good replacement variety thank you for your time. Danny

      Delmarvel strawberries are a good choice, but they have been out-performed by more recently released varieties. You can probably find them at local nurseries in your area, but they aren’t available for ordering online (as far as I am aware). You can find a host of others here. Good luck!

    To Whom It May Concern, I have no idea how to buy strawberries. I don’t know what kind I should get or what they should cost. Please educate me-when you have a chance. I am sure you are very busy, I am just too ignorant about them. Am sorry about this. Also, in cases where people may have verticillium, is there some kind of powder or spray to combat that sort of thing? What can anyone use? Thank you already.
    sincerely, Marjorie McCausland-George.

    Been looking through here at the vendors. Most don’t specify the age of these plants. I am interested in fall planting and spring harvest ,then plow them and start over again in the fall with new plants. Am not interested in establishing a plant for 18 months . Also price for these plants is a big factor . If when its done it cost me as much as it would to buy the fruit retail + plus the work I am not interested . The prices look go for the most part with these vendors . Can anybody recommend one that sells mature plants at a reasonable price ?
    Thanks

      Sukin Oh,
      Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the South Korean climate. However, I can tell you that you will likely have much happier plants and much bigger long-term yields from your strawberry plants if you modify your plans slightly. Planting strawberry plants in the spring and hoping to harvest just a few months later usually is not a very successful approach. You might get a small harvest, but the plants will do much better in the long run if you snip or pinch off the blooms throughout the first growing season to allow the plants to establish themselves and develop hearty and powerful root systems. See the Growing Strawberries reference page for more details. As for buying the plants, I don’t know of any Korean suppliers at present. You could try contacting some of the suppliers listed in the directories on this site to see if they are able to ship internationally. Good luck!

      Jessica,
      As long as your container is large enough to accommodate multiple plants, you can most definitely extend the growing season and harvest. If you look at the chart near the top of the Strawberry Varieties reference page, you can get approximate ripening times. If you plant early season, mid-season, and late season varieties, you’ll accomplish your goal, if all goes and grows well. Good luck!

      You are definitely pushing it as far as planting a strawberry bed that will successfully make it through the winter since you live in a northern climate. But, it can’t hurt to try! See the Fall Strawberry Plants page for more information. You may want to establish a new bed as old plants can harbor diseases that can be passed easily to new plantings. And, to keep your beds vital on a sustainable and long-term basis, see the system on the Transplanting Strawberries page.
