Expert Answer

The seeds need to undergo a process called stratification, where they are chilled to winter temperatures. You could plant them outside straight out of the berry, but they may not come up until the following spring.

Question

Can I grow strawberries in the Philippines through the process of freezing the seeds before planting?

Terry Schwartz

Community Answer

Where you live is quite warm and moist, so planting them in the ground right away is best. Freezing is only for those who don’t have moist temperatures. If you want it done really really fast, then yes, freezing strawberries for that amount of time is best.

Question

If I were to freeze strawberries for four weeks and then plant them, would this work?

Community Answer

Yes, but it would take longer to thaw. If you freeze it that long, it would be best for you to dry and rub the seeds.
