Customer Reviews
About 9 of the 27 plants in my bundle have turned into strawberry plants. Pretty disappointing. I do understand there is a risk with these, but I was hoping for at least half.

I am not at all impressed with these particular strawberry bare-root plants. They were pretty dry when I received them, but I kept my hopes positive. Unfortunately, only 5 out of 25 came up. They are growing nicely, but it's not exactly what I paid for. Very disappointed in the fact that I paid so much for so little. That worked out to be $5 for each of the plants that grew.

I think these strawberries have been planted around 6 weeks. I planted them very shortly after I got them. It was cold the first few weeks so I didn't expect much right away . It's been great weather for enough time that I would expect something to be happening. Nothing. First I received 22 out of 25 but 2 of those were dead. Some now look like they could be alive and at least 3 more appear to be absolutely dead. I am watering them once a day in the containers so they don't dry out too much. The weather has been mostly 70s and 80s with 2 days in the 90s. I should have at least a few leaves. Nada. I had better luck with Burpee. I'm disappointed.

I thought I did everything right, but the plants all died. Perhaps it was too cold here in NW Montana for this variety?
