hotwired's Strawberry: Everbearing

hotwired's Strawberry: Everbearing x 900 Dormant

Plant: Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) | Variety: Everbearing

I have about 900 ever-bearing strawberry plants. I read in all the seed catalogs how they produce very few runners. Yeah Right. Each plant produced at least one runner per week last year, most producing two per week. To get good fruit yields, the runners must be cut off weekly. The ever-bearing produce about three crops per summer, right up until first frost.
