  • Question
    Why would I remove flowers? Don't the berries grow from the flower once it is pollinated?

    Top Answerer
    You are right, you mustn't remove all the flowers. Do not remove flowers on varieties that produce fruits only once a year. Remove flowers only before June. Remove small flower clusters. If you do this way, your strawberry plant will produce more fruit and keep its strength.

    I have leaves growing from the base of my strawberry plant that do not resemble strawberry leaves. Is this common?

    These are likely weeds. Root them up do they don't sap nutrition from your strawberry plant.

  • Question
    My strawberries aren’t growing any fruit, just leaves. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    They might be too young, or they might not be getting pollinated. You might be using the wrong fertilizer (nitrogen fertilizer).
