9GreenBox25 Earliglow Strawberry Plants - Bareroot - The Earliest Berry!

These came in looking a little sad, in a bubble envelope, but they are supposed to. They started to grow very well once I planted them.I live in southern California though, and as soon as the temps got up in the 90s the leaves burned up. I tried shade cloth and shade umbrella, but it's just too hot, as I suspected but refused to believe (ah, the foolish optimism of a gardener). My sister bought these (same seller, same everything) on the same day as I did, and she is in Michigan and hers still look beautiful. I might have been able to grow these in the winter here, but I think I will just stick with the California varieties in the future.One last note, no matter where you live, earliglow take an additional season to truly bare fruit. You should remove the blossoms the first year of growing and let the plant focus on growth. Then the next year you get a great harvest of berries.In my opinion, earliglow are the best tasting strawberry. I worked on a strawberry farm for 10 years when I lived in Michigan.

I planted them immediately and none of them have grown. I wouldn't buy these

Plants were good, only lost two, great directions , only issue is plants are big and beautiful but havent produced hardly any berries so probably won't order again

I purchased Earlygro, Quinault, and Ozark varieties of bareroot berries from these guys several weeks ago. They shipped them promptly and I wrapped the roots in wet paper towels and plastic kitchen wrap for 3 days as instructed. At that time, all slips had only small green buds on the foliage end. I planted them in a mixture of soil from my garden amended with sand and perlite to improve drainage. After a week, all have multiple leaves of green foliage on top and look healthy and ready to set out in the garden. (see photos). I have purchased bareroot berry plants from the guys at Handpicked Nursery 3 times over the past years and all have been extremely successful (98%). Photos show plants 1 week after planting in starter. Far better than the dried out packages of bareroots at the big box (orange and blue) stores, where survival rates were below 50%. My only complaint is that Handpicked should include written instructions with the plants; not everyone likes to look up stuff on the internet!!!!!!

Weather in Tennessee and family medical issues wiped out my strawberry patch. I replanted fall 2022 again weather and not 1 came up. Spring, planted again. Nothing. Ordered this batch and roots look good and leaf buds are visible. Fingers crossed I planted in pots so I can watch what happens.

Ordered 2 different varieties all was in 1 bag also 15 plants out of 100 died never seen so little bareroot plants

The plants were very healthy with very long roots. I soaked the roots in water before planting in my vertices planter. They are growing and I can't wait for some delicious Strawberries. Well worth the price. The plants itself were the perfect size for starting.

None of the roots even sprouted a leaf muchless a flower or berry, and now says can't return them or get refund or anything. Definetly do not recommend anyone purchase thes !!!!
