We planted a small bed of strawberries last year, and the plants look very healthy and have many runners. But the fruit is small and deformed. What's wrong?
Last Updated: May 14, 2008
What you have described is the matted-row system of strawberry production. To produce large strawberries, thin the plants such that the remaining plants receive adequate moisture and nutrients. The deformed fruit could be due to a lack of pollination or frost damage. Thinning the plants will increase the pollination and should result in larger, well-formed fruit.
