Soak bare roots in water for 30–60 minutes before planting to ensure proper hydration and strong root growth.
Choose a sunny location that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day for the best fruiting results.
Prepare well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Add compost or organic matter to enhance soil quality.
Plant crowns at soil level, ensuring that the roots are spread out and the crown is not buried. Avoid planting too deeply to prevent crown rot.
Space plants 12–18 inches apart, with 3–4 feet between rows for proper airflow and healthy growth.
Water consistently to keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Remove flowers during the first year to allow plants to focus on establishing healthy roots and foliage, which will increase fruit production in the second year.
Expect bountiful harvests of large, sweet strawberries starting in the second growing season, with continued yields for many years.
