\nA strawberry is an aggregate fruit<\/a>. It resembles fruit, but from a botanical point of view the strawberry is not. Normally fruits develop from the ovary and seed. If other plant parts are part of the fruit, it is called an aggregate fruit.
\nWith strawberries, the flower bed participates in the fruit development. The seeds grow on the flower bottom, which is why they are on the outside of strawberries.
\nCuttings taken from the runners in late summer can be planted in a new bed. Do this before mid-October, so that the cuttings still have a chance to root well. If the strawberry bed is in a very wet spot, it is better to plant the cuttings in pots and let them overwinter in the greenhouse or conservatory. They can be planted out in the spring. It is customary to leave the runners until the new spring.
\nA bed of strawberries can be covered in winter with a mulch layer of compost or straw. This way, the plants do not dry out in a bleak northerly wind. In March, the semi-digested material can be worked into the soil between the plants.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Bugs” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1653984303971{background-color: #585858 !important;}”][vc_column_text el_id=”entrytxt” el_class=”entrytxt”]<\/p>\n
