FAQs

Can I grow these in hanging baskets?

Yes, Honeoye strawberry plants are highly versatile and grow exceptionally well in hanging baskets as long as they receive adequate water and nutrients.

How long until I get fruit?

These plants are designed to establish and produce fruit within their first growing season.

Do I need to fertilize my strawberry plants?

Yes, once growth begins in spring, applying a balanced liquid fertilizer formulated for fruit or tomatoes can encourage higher yields.

Are these plants perennial?

Yes, strawberries are perennials and can produce fruit for several years with proper care and winter protection.

What should I do if the ground is frozen when they arrive?

Heel the bare roots into a pot of moist compost and keep them in a cool, frost-free shed until the ground thaws and can be worked.

Troubleshooting

Roots appear dried out upon delivery

Soak the roots in a bucket of tepid water for up to two hours before planting to rehydrate the tissues.

Plants are slow to produce new foliage

Ensure the crown is not buried too deep. Check that the soil is kept moist and the plant is receiving sufficient sunlight.

Fruit is rotting on the ground

Place a layer of straw or mulch under the leaves to lift the fruit off the damp soil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Upon receiving your bare roots, soak them in water for 30-60 minutes to rehydrate the roots before planting.
  2. Planting Depth: Ensure the crown (the point where roots meet the stem) is level with the soil surface. Planting too deep can lead to rot, while too shallow can dry out the roots.
  3. Soil Conditions: Use well-draining, slightly acidic soil. If planting in pots, use a high-quality peat-free compost.
  4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching with straw can help retain moisture and keep the developing fruit clean.
  5. Maintenance: Regularly remove any damaged or dead leaves. Ensure the plants have adequate air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
