They produce lots of fruit but they also spread like crazy when you plant them in the ground. If you don’t want it to spread definitely plant it in a pot
1 mi piaceI have them in a pot now, so I’ll probably keep them there! I love strawberries but I don’t want too many.
1 mi piaceI’ve read that you should cut off the flowers to encourage root growth. My family and I don’t do that. But if you have more than one you could try it.
1 mi piaceDon’t pull them up, protect the pot over winter. They will fruit better the next year! Keep the berries out of the soil always.
