STRAWBERRY POT

This is our new hypertufa strawberry pot.  It has side pockets so you can really load a lot of berry plants into one pot. It is a wonderful sight to behold when it is blooming and full of berries.

There are many types of strawberries but they usually fall into two basic groups: June-bearing and Everbearing. June-bearing berries bloom all at once in the spring and will provide berries in quantity. This is good if you want a lot of berries at one time for making jam, for example.

Everbearing strawberries bloom and produce all the time but in small amounts. This type is the one to use for decorative containers because you'll always have blooms and berries in some stage of growth. They are especailly nice in larger or hanging containers because they send out daughter shoots with new little plants.
