Chose these strawberries based on the information I read online and customer reviews. I just ordered today and will plant them as soon as I receive them.
I had strawberries I bought from here before and now that I moved I wanted to plant them again. All the berries in the collection sound great, medium to large and sweet.

This is is a fantastic deal. I know the plants will be a great quality and fit for our zone. This is an early Fathers day gift for my hubby. A gift that will keep on giving! Thank you
we've purchased white pineberries from Stark Bros. and are very happy with how productive and tasty they are. We need to replenish our existing strawberry beds and are looking forward to some more delicious StarkBros. berries.

BEST ANSWER:If you're in the south nearly all varieties stay alive year after year. I have strawberries that have been in the ground for over 6 years now and they still produce great strawberries.

BEST ANSWER:In the first year, the blossoms should be removed from june bearing strawberries. Ever bearing flowers should be removed during spring flowering and summer flowers can remain. Yield the first year of ever bearing is low.

BEST ANSWER:Strawberry plants themselves are very tough, but once they're blooming you need to protect the blossoms against frost & freeze. I toss a blanket or floating row cover over mine if the plants are blooming and we're expecting a frost or freeze overnight. I've never had frost or freeze while the plants have berries -- I suspect the berries could withstand a light frost, but that a freeze would turn them to mush.

Hello. I live in Philadelphia and i allowed my strawberry patch to over-winter in 2016 and in summer 2016 the strawberries did great and provided lots of fruit. I would recommend covering them with straw in the fall to protect them over the winter. But mine survived without using straw. When I planted the strawberry plants I surrounded them with mulch too which I am sure helped.
They survived the winter in North Dakota where temperatures often plummet well below zero. However, like all strawberries, the flowers will not withstand a frost and they will stop producing in response to a frost or freezing weather.
Yes, the plants are resistant to frost and at least short-term hard freeze. Ours have stayed green all winter long. The fruits will be damaged by frost, however.
BEST ANSWER:I have found you don't need to fertilize but your crops will be small in number. With miracle grow you'll get much healthier plants and a much heavier production of fruit. When you first plant your strawberries use the regular miracle grow to give it strong roots and good leaves and then in the second year switch to the bloom booster so you get a lot of flower that produce fruit.

I didn't fertilize the strawberries at all because I put them in an area with really good soil to start with. So far I haven't needed to fertilize this year and our strawberries are producing in large quantities.
I did not fertilize my TriStar Everybearing and only watered if we'd been without rain. It was their first season and though I only got a few berries they were ginormous. Eager for next year.
I have not fertilized them. I occasionally water if it does not rain much. The first year they were not all that productive, but this year, the second much more productive.
I would like to plant strawberries in a stacking vertical planter. I live in NW NJ. Which strawberry plant would be best for harvest more than once a season? ty!
BEST ANSWER:You'll definitely want an everbearing variety. Tristar will give you berries virtually all summer, until frost. The summer crop will be lighter, but the spring and fall crops will both be full-size. Tristar has wonderful color and flavor. We sell a lot of them.

Do you have strawberry plants that would do well in a vertical hydroponic gardening in a greenhouse. Plants that have fewer runners would probably be helpful?
BEST ANSWER:Strawberry varieties that are "day-neutral" or "everbearing" will produce fewer runners than varieties that are "June-bearing". Some examples of everbearing strawberry varieties include Eversweet, Ozark Beauty, Tribute, and Tristar.

BEST ANSWER:In our organic garden, strawberries and asparagus grow happily in the same beds. We exercise caution in cultivating in early spring, pulling weeds among the strawberries by hand, so as not to damage the asparagus that hasn't sprouted yet. We also work to keep the strawberries from getting too thick and overgrown and competing with the asparagus. Plenty of compost feeds both plants. Have had these beds going for 5 years at about 2000 ft. Altitude in northeast Tennessee.

Asparagus and strawberries are good companions. Don't plant anything from the cabbage family near strawberries, and don't plant mint near the asparagus, and you will be fine. :-)
BEST ANSWER:Thank you for your question. The potted plants collection consists of two of each strawberry variety (for a total of six separate 4" pots).

I got these last year and even though it took me two weeks to plant them after we recieved them (bad i know) they grew beautifully and spread into a nice green carpet of bushes. I even got some berries last year. I plucked most of the flowers so that the energy went into the roots and im glad i did because they over wintered and i thought they died but they came back this year and are almost a foot tall covered in flowers. Very resilient and i look forward to tasting the berries. Justmake sure when you plant them you eliminate competition by weeding, heavy mulching prior to planting, or sheet mulching prior to planting. They do best establishing without competition.
The Sparkle strawberries are finicky, less vigorous or productive but the ever bearing variety and Honeoye strawberry plants are vigorous, send out good runners, healthy and growing big berries year one.
planted 2 years ago. going strong this year. been picking since early june and still a few to pick in early august. we have had a very very dry summer !!! Look forward to next year.
We ordered this package in Spring of 2016. The Ozark were by far the healthiest and grew the fastest. If we order more strawberries, we will stick with Ozarks. The Honeoye grew pretty well for us. The Sparkles did not grow well. We lost half of them. Stark replaced them with Ozarks for us. This is a great starter if you're new to strawberries.
I received them and put them in early at the end of Feb 2017 since the warm temps I thought were here to stay.......well they didn't but the plants have continued to grow and produce new leaves.......even with a freeze that hit our area....I have just ordered 75 more plants and can't wait to get them in the ground.
I didn't care for these strawberry's, I had trouble with growing big enough and plentiful, My June Berry's grew vey big and I filled my freezer an I sold serval more that were very big and sweet.
The plants arrived in good condition and over wintered well. I have them planted in a 4 foot wide matted row fashion and they have filled all the space nicely. Barely a weed in beds this spring. They are in full bloom now and my children are anxiously awaiting the first harvest.
These strawberries produced small but very tasty fruit in the first year. They also provided hundreds of runners which we used to start a new strawberry patch last fall. That strawberry patch at this point is incredibly dense with foliage and hundreds of flowers and berries. I'm really impressed with these bare roots.
Bare roots were all in great shape- strong roots, almost every one of them resulted in a vigorous plant. I'm ordering more this year. My only issue was that I forgot to label which plants went into which bed, so I guess I'll be surprised!
These were nice in the first year, they even had a small amount of fruit. This year we have an enormous amount of green strawberries right now! We've also separated a large # of runners and spread them to family and friends this year.
Planted early April 2016. First year was okay. But second year, look out! Heavy producer. Healthy plants. Nice blooms. Great tasting Strawberries. Will not disappoint. I even replanted the sister starts.
I would highly recommend this strawberry collection! We started a new patch last year & they grew & spread beautifully!!! I have always purchased all my strawberries from Stark Bros and have NEVER been disappointed!!!
I planted my strawberry collection last year and they took exceedingly well, sending out runners and establishing new plants long before the summer was over. I got a few strawberries that year, which I counted as a blessing as I wasn't expecting any. The plants, which are now at least 8 inches tall, have spread out and made themselves comfortable and I am currently harvesting more strawberries than I can eat! I have lots of baking ideas lined up to take care of the excess. I live in Philadelphia - zone 7a and we have had a cooler, more rainy season than is typical.
I have tried many times in the past to get a small strawberry patch started by buying from our local Wally with absolutely no luck at all, I planted these this spring kind of figuring I would have the same luck but to my surprise we got a great crop and even had strawberries this spring. Will buy more next spring.
When I received the strawberry plants, I was pleasantly surprised as to how healthy they appeared. Currently have loads of green strawberries on the vines , waiting for some sun to ripen them!
Placed my Babies in my sandy-soil mix last year in late May. They grew, and multiplied. I knew there wouldn't be any berries till now, and OMG, I can't pick them fast enough already! The birds are TRYING to eat them too, but even they are full. Mind you it is June 3rd only a year later, so I haven't seen an ALL-summer bounty yet, but I think I might have the neighborhood kids over once a week to stuff their guts on them too. Stark strawberries ROCK!!! -Dennis
Last year was the first time I've ever planted strawberries and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the plants and the overall experience of planting, growing and eating my own strawberries. I have a portable contianer garden and these have become a treasured part of this small fledgling food production area. Last year I planted the strawberry plants in containers and added mulch around them. I also gave my brother a few to plant in his garden. They produced a few small berries for us in their first season. This year we have enjoyed watching them produce even more and larger fruits. The ones the birds haven't beaten me to have been delicious. My brothers plants aren't in containers and are more prolific producers. One of the great pleasures in life is enjoying a vine ripened strawberry still warm from the midday sun from my own backyard. The only thing that beats that is the feeling you get when you share the delicious strawberries with the ones you love. The plants I received have proven hardy and require very little attention. I left them outside all winter long and they survived some below freezing days with no problem. My hope is that everyone will experience the joy of planting, picking, and sharing fresh strawberries from their own backyard. My experience with Stark Bro's Nursies has been first class and I've only received from them healthy and hearty plants. From planting the strawberry plants to watching the flowers become fruits, grow and ripen to that beautiful deep red over time adds a type of excitement and anticipation to the eating of the home grown fruit that no store bought strawberry can ever produce. If you enjoy eating fresh delicious strawberries throughout the summer buy this collection. I'm very glad I did.
I purchased this product in spring of 2016. Of course they take a year to get established. As of now, (Spring 2017) all the plants are huge and full of flowers. So needless to say it will be a bountiful year! Looking VERY forward to them. Every plant (100) made it with no problem when Stark Bros Nurseries sent them. I would highly recommend them to all.
planted them as soon as I received them in April. All doing well. used upright black strawberry bag plants are smaller than ones in ground. Oh well, not disappointed , flowering in MAY !!!
Using strawberry plants as an edible ground cover in a bed that has full sun and somewhat sandy soil and they are thriving. Going to be reaping a lot of tasty berries soon.
These plants are great, year two for them. Super strong and spreading rapidly from where I originally planned, letting them take over whatever they want, I want all the berries I can get!
Planted the collection in the spring of 2016. The Ozark Beauties produced throughout their first season . This spring, 2017, all plants are just beautiful and are full of berries. This is the best berry strawberry patch I have ever had in 40 years of gardening!
Easy to plant crowns have grown into strong healthy plants. We pinched both blossoms and runners the first season so as to promote strong roots and plants. This year we have loads and loads of berries just starting to ripen. The varieties are developing and ripening staggered so as to have a longer fruiting season instead of being overwhelmed all at once. With a little care one can have a delightful berry garden.
I planted 75 of these bare root plants in raised beds. I'm not totally sure (leaf miners?) devistated. I quickly got pests under control and fertilized with Starkbros strawberry fertilizer and the plants came back strong. I went on vacation for a week came home and these plants had MANY berries, even though I pinched the flowers before I left. This springs plants have filled up the beds, growing strong. Strong plants. Highly recommended for the attentive gardener. Keep the pests under control and you will get your fill of delicious strawberries!
This is year two for my berries. I live in mid Missouri, planted them in 10ft raised metal rings, and picked all the blooms off last summer after planting them in spring. They are heavily producing and some ripe already this may. I’m very happy with my purchase!
We bought 50 plants last year. I have a raised bed about a hundred yards long with raspberries and thought planting strawberries along the front would be a nice compliment. Our harvest last year was minimal due to a late planting but the plants are very hardy and spread so that this year I have at least 150-250 plants and it is a carpet of strawberry flowers. My sons are so excited. Well worth the price with minimal work.
The strawberries are amazing! they're healthy and happy plants, they held up beautifully over the winter and came back bigger and stronger and are flowering more abundantly. I definitely recommend this company!
I have planted strawberries every summer for 5 years with no success. I had bought starter plants at the big box stores in my area. Nothing. This year I bought these bare root plants from Stark’s and they’re doing awesome. I’m in Colorado and we had two spring snow storms (one was 13 inches of snow) and they all survived. Can’t wait to see how they do in year 2. Thank you, Starks!
Received these on a Saturday, planted them immediately, and 4 days later almost every single plant has 3 leaves already. These little guys are making me proud. This is exactly why I trust Stark Bros for all my fruit trees and berry plants. Never disappointed!
I am SO happy with these strawberries! I picked the flowers off in the first year of the Junebearers and this is the second year; I got an medium harvest from the everbearers the first year; it was worth the wait! Now, they are prolific, juicy and taste fantastic!!! They range from average to large size. It is the middle of May in my area - zone 7 - and I pick an average of a pint a day.
I wanted to use strawberries as an edible ground cover and they are doing just that. THey have spread out far and wide and look as if though there is no chance of stopping, and i don't plan on stoppoing them. This will be another plant that i transplant into the near by woods line i hopes wildlife prefer them over my garden. The taste is wonderfull and i'm not that happy about sharing them with all the birds.
