Cut and Root Strawberry Runners!🍓
You can cut and root strawberry runners. These runners were removed from established plants (1-2 years old) last June. Strawberry plants start to decline in production after three years, thus, it’s a good idea to propagate ones from runners. The nodes on the runners or stolons can develop their root system, which can be cut off from the mother plant. It usually takes 4+ weeks for roots to develop. Your new strawberry clones should fruit the following season! Check out the tips below.
✅ For new plants, remove runners to allow them to establish in the first year.
✅ Day-neutral and everbearing varieties generally don’t produce many runners. Summer or June bearings are known to produce runners until the first frost—plant in full sun.
✅ Strawberries thrive best in fertile, well-draining, slightly acidic soil (pH 6 to 6.5).
✅ Bury each plant about 1/4 inch deep, just covering the roots with the crowns exposed.
✅ Space each plant or bare root crown 18 inches apart. Row spacing for June-bearing: 3 to 4 feet apart, and ever-bearing and day-neutral: 1 foot apart. Plant 1 plant in a 6-8” container.
Happy Gardening! 💚😊
