The Strawberry Cambridge Favourite Bare Roots are perfect for home gardeners seeking a reliable, heavy-cropping variety that balances traditional British flavor with impressive versatility. These plants produce large, juicy red-orange fruits with a classic aroma, making them ideal for both novice growers and experienced horticulturists; however, because they arrive as bare roots, they require prompt planting to ensure successful establishment and hydration.

Bare root strawberries are typically planted during their dormant period in spring or early autumn when the soil is workable.
Yes, they are highly suitable for patio containers; ensure the pot has drainage holes and use a high-quality multipurpose compost.
Water regularly, especially during dry spells or if growing in containers, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
Cambridge Favourite is hardy, but in very harsh climates or pots, you may want to move containers to a sheltered area to protect roots from extreme freezes.
While they can produce for several years, strawberry productivity usually peaks in the second and third years, after which you may want to propagate new runners.
Ensure the crown was not buried too deep and that the soil has remained consistently moist since planting.
Use straw or a protective mat under the fruits to lift them off the damp soil and improve air circulation.
Check for waterlogging or nutrient deficiencies; ensure the soil has adequate drainage and apply a potassium-rich fertilizer.
To establish your strawberry patch, begin by soaking the roots in water for 15-30 minutes before planting. Prepare a site with well-draining, fertile, slightly acidic soil. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots without bending them, ensuring the crown of the plant sits exactly at soil level—burying the crown can cause it to rot. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a mulch, such as straw, to keep the developing fruit clean and off the soil. During the growing season, provide consistent moisture and consider a balanced liquid feed once the first flowers appear to support fruit development.
