Live Plant - Honeoye Strawberry 25 Bare Root Plants - Extremely Hardy June-Bearing - Fruit Plant

Grew well- I only put 3-4 of the plants in this 8’ bed last spring and now they’re going nuts. They’re putting out less quantity than my earliglow strawberries that produce smaller berries, but these make up for it in quality- massive berries.

I ordered bare roots strawberry plants from 2 different sellers on Amazon this year. I have many years experience planting bare roots. I know they don’t look like much when they arrive, but if they are healthy they start growing well as soon as they’re planted.This particular order of bare roots arrived soaking wet, sealed in a plastic bag, and had become thoroughly soggy and moldy. They should not arrive wet, moldy, and already decomposing. The plants themselves might have been ok if they had been packaged and mailed in drier conditions, but even so they were some of the smallest plants with the shortest of root systems that I’ve ever had. What a disappointment. These roots are going in the compost.

These perked right up after a soak & being planted. Already flowering too! Liked them so much for the hearty stock that I ordered more a week later! As you can see in the photo they are doing well (disregard the stones painted like strawberries; they are there to deter birds when berries do ripen). A really great garden investment I will enjoy for years to come!

Good plants

All arrived alive but most were on the small side. Also arrived late but seller worked with me on that issue. I've grown these from bare root before and expected them to be more mature, but fully expect them all to live. All in all, they are acceptable.

I don't think it was the fault of the seller, but things just didn't work out. When I opened the package, the plants were about as "bare root" as you can imagine. I could put all 25 plants in a tea cup. It wasn't quite what I expected. Although advertised as extremely hardy, none of them survived. Unfortunately for me, by the time I had decided to return them, it was too late as I had missed the return date. However, now that I am better prepared, in all fairness to the seller, I will try again with another purchase.

I ordered everbearing and June bearing strawberries. 45 plants total. When they arrived about three had some growth on them and about five had rot on them. The rest were pretty scrawny. Couldn’t tell if they were dead or dormant. I planted them all and I have three poorly performing plants out of 45 plants. I would like a refund but the window for return has closed (I gave them five weeks to grow)I will update this as to their customer service if they refund me.

Amazing growth in only two months. These strawberry plants are great!!!!
